Why don't you post in "want to buy" section. Somebody might have a Harley service manual laying around that they don't need. I don't think the one in your post is as good a manual as the HD.

I paid $30 or so for mine. That was with my LEO discount, but still $60 seems excessive.

Thanks Mike, although I don't know how you decided that by looking at the picture. That's why I posted to see if anyone HAS this.

But, your suggestion to post in the want to buy is not a bad Idea. Thanks!

People ain't scared to pay $100 for a foot peg, but they cry about buying the bible that will aid them for years to come.

Technical books are expensive the HD manual is much better than the haynes.

I paid 48 bucks without any discount a couple of years ago for the 05 Harley Touring Series Service manual.

Actually, it was meant to help.

Some people need to put things into perspective.

That book is precious.
Way more precious than some stupid bling that does zero for performance.

$60 bucks ain't **** compared to everything else HD sells.
Knock off 20% if you buy online. WTF

I've used Haynes car books before. They are ****.


"run along now". He he!
