Hi all, What's the deal with not being able to get a Clymer manual for 2014 to 2016 model year dressers? I searched all over and I can't seem to find one anywhere. Where can I get a manual without paying an arm and a leg?

 

I wouldn't want a "Clymer" manual.
Too generic and not model year specific.

HD factory service manual is the way to go.

 

Last April, 2024 I was involved in a very low speed rear end collision at a country stop sign. Not my fault but I understood clearly how it happened. Other partie's insurance picked up the tab - over $4000 worth of parts on the rear of my 2014 HD. I ordered the parts through the HD dealer's service shop and took them home, expecting to make an appointment later for installation. While at home I checked my HD Factory service manual and found it covered how to remove and install every single damaged piece, so I followed the manual and did the replacements myself. I understand new manuals now cost about $165. By using the manual I pocketed the $1100 labor estimate.....but yeah, Clymer is probably cheaper. LOL!

 

I went on Clymer's website and they don't even have a listing for those years. I'm looking for a H-D service manual now.

 

I just ordered the HD SM for my 2014 CVO Ultra limited last week from the dealer here in Canada. Cost was $203.00!!

 

Holy sh**!!

 

 

Dint waste your money on Clymer. A bit more money on the HD FSM is worth it.

 

Lots of things Clymer's doesn't cover. Fussing about it won't cause them to magically make a manual either.
Factory Service manual is worthwhile, imo, even at a Harley price.
You can find downloadable PDF's for free on the web.

 

I had one of the PDF versions (I paid for it, but I have seen them free, since). It was such a pain in the rear to search and use that I put a wanted ad out for the FSM. One of the fine members here had one and sold it to me for half of new.

It's astonishing how much easier it is to use a simple book VS a digital copy. Next I'd like to get it spine clipped and put in a 3 ring binder as many here have done. It's hard to cut up a pristine manual that will never be printed again though - at least it is for me.
