Default 2018 Softail Service Manual

Found this on Ebay for $100.

Can't find on HD site.

Is price right?

Looks like the same manual I bought from the dealer. Think I paid $120 but I had a gift card

It looks legit to me. I bought mine from either Surdyke or Boardtracker for around $100 new. Local dealers should be able to get it for you too, for around $120.

yes just have them order it and you should have it in a couple days, that's how I got mine.

I picked up mine this weekend. Between my vet discount (10%), and the promotion they ran today where you spin the wheel and get a discount (I got 18%), I got mine for a little less than 1/3 off.

Be aware that there are two versions of the 2018 Softail service manual. The original version didn't have the Sport Glide model in it. They revised it to include the Sport Glide, and the original manual is now considered obsolete. If you don't have a Sport Glide, you might be able to score an obsolete one for less maybe?

Just got a new 2016 Touring Service Manual from one of the online discount vendors for $97.00....

They were drop shipped from the MoCo, so I'm pretty sure it's the latest/updated manual....

I had to wait a week, but worth it....

PS- I got the parts catalog for $48 and the electrical manual for $45...

I would suspect similar prices on the 2018 manuals.....
