Default Prefered repair manual?
New here and to Harley's. I've looked around the internet for a good, well detailed repair manual. Not exactly looking for anything specific, but I've found them helpful in the past to get to know my vehicles. I have noticed Hayne's manuals for my trucks have not exactly been very detailed in some areas.


Yall got any suggestions or favorites?
Thanks in advance.

I prefer the HD manual, but the Clymer's manual is a good one as well. I have both, but if I could only have one I'd take the HD one. JMO

Only time I buy non-factory manuals is when they aren't available.

Awesome. Appreciate the input. Looks like I'll be shopping around for the HD. Last thing I wanna do is waste money on a generic manual that'll have me guessing.

I have both HD and Clymer. Can't remember the last time I opened the Clymer.

I would use a Clymer or Hayes,, IF I were riding a Clymer or Hayes.
