16 years old in fact! And the OP hasn't logged in since 2011. I often wonder how many of these people that just stop logging in might've croaked.

Since this old thread is again brought to our attention, I found where an old factory manual is offered for sale

Didn't buy it. But, at first, it did strike me that it might be only the transmission. But after considering it a bit, I came to the conclusion that it is about the whole shebang.
I had never dreamed that HD would put out a manual for a 1/2-year model. Kinda makes you proud to be an American.
