just wondering if some one has a good suggestion for finding a reasonably priced manual for my 81 ironhead. Been reading lots of posts and if I understand correct this bike is going to be like a needy girlfriend(hope my wife don't mind).
So I should find a book/bible before too long
thanks beaubo

 

You need both of these ...

Parts catalog 99451-85A
Service manual 99484-85

Any HD dealer or indie motorcycle shop, eBay, J&P Cycles, any other catalog motorcycle supply.

On eBay you can find original manuals still in the shrink wrap, used manuals, manuals on CD.

 

E-bay is good source
