Hi WB
I have all 3 AMF, Clymer and Haynes for my 1980. All 3 have good information.
I use the Haynes the most. It seems easier for me to follow.
Just a side note on Haynes. I was using an old one from the library. I got tired
of checking it in and out. So I ordered a new hard bound one. The new Haynes
sucks compared to the older one. They added pages but it is harder to follow.
JohnB, Do your manuals, by chance, have any photos of the 1980 Low Rider?? I'm pulling my hair out trying to find pics of one in factory original condition.
They're pretty close to identical. I have both andlike one for some things and the other for other things. The Clymer does have a nice glossy cover though.
