Yes. You can find good used manuals on eBay -- you just need to know the part numbers so you get the correct manuals.

If anyone new to wrenching (like me) has reservations about getting the HD service manual and parts manual for your bike, don't think about it any longer and BUY IT! Just received my books and jumped right into it changing the primary fluid and adjusting the clutch. Going to dismantel the air cleaner system tonight to replace gaskets and rings to help reduce or eliminate the blow-by which might be a little excessive. While I'm in there I will lubricate and adjust the throttle. Having the part numbers for the job makes it easier at the dealership...saves a little time. It's also nice to get the exploded view of the systems in the parts manual to help with understanding the service manual instructions. Soon I will replace the fork oil.
I get a lot of satisfaction wrenching on my own bike and I save a ton of money. These manuals are a must.

I've purchased the factory service manual for every new bike I've owned.
All makes and models, and they have always been top rate. Although the HD manual is very user friendly.

Excessive blowby can also be cured by lowering the oil level to halfway up the dipstick. Harley manual is a must if you are working on your bike. Period. $60 for a wealth of info. You paid for the bike, buy the manual. I prefer to support Harley and buy the actual manual from them. The bootleg CD's are just that, bootlegs. I wnat Harley to be around for anotherf 100 years.

So do I. But what if I buy a used manual on eBay? That money isn't going to the MoCo.
I would hope the MoCo would be around in 100 years because of the beauty, reliability, and quality of its motorcycles.
