The link you provided is bootleg, it's NOT an HD authorized site. Looking at your later post I see you suggested the HD site, good idea. Not throwing rocks at you, refreshing your mind, you know these things.

I don't want to have to logon and read it off Harley's website each time I want to reference it so might just go buy the manual.
Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions.
HD has a pdf download? I see now where he said go to HD and register in a later post, good idea. If HD allows you to save a .pdf file proceed as follows > download > save as > desktop. This way you know where it's at for convenience and can later place it accordingly.

Funny, neither you nor I know what royalty deal he might have worked out with HD. I've been around long enough to know HD would have him shut down by now. They've been operating for a minimum for four years.

At the very least, one phone call from HD to Paypal would have his Paypal account revoked. An unauthorized bootlegger also does not push Copyright terms.

Tampa Fatboy, they have the user manual and wiring diagram as limks to open on your computer and read. It has a print button where you can print the entire manual.
However there is not a dowload link. If you try and right click to save it to your computer it only saves the link, not the manual.
If I am missing a way that someone sees any help is sppreciated. This is the user manual and not the service manual. At least this would help me learn what everything is. I am going to go look again.

aha...you're better off with the manual. Hard copy, don't have to worry about getting to the file if the pc crashes. What's the cost today for a manual, 30-50 depending? I see ebay merchants jacked them way up, doesnt surprise me, bunch of leeches looking for a someone to play on.

That empty 'slot' is where the rectangular alarm module goes.

Sounds like yours has been disconnected, but you he alarm's 'brain' is still doing its thing - just that you have no 'siren' to trigger - unless it's been relocated somewhere else

If they allow you to print it, you can get it back into a PDF format by installing a PDF file generator. I use PDF995 almost daily. It is free to use, but they ask you to register and pay the 9.95 to keep from having the ads pop up every time. Then when you go to print, look at your list of printers. You will find PDF995 listed as one of your printers. Use that, it will ask you where you want to save the file, give it a location, and hit print. Your file will be saved.

Good luck!! Enjoy.

OP, JMO, whether it's a PDF or print go with HD Factory Service manual. I have had many for things over the years and factory was ALWAYS far better. Clymer and others are fine when you can't get a factory (like when they are no longer in print). Yes, you'll pay more, but after it is spent you won't regret it.
