I am looking at a parts fiche on the Harley website and there are only 25 diagrams of the bike.
I don't see one for the starter, or any on the switches that your brake levers activate to turn on the brake lights, handlebar switches, on and on.
Why are they not included and where do I go to find the remaining diagrams?
It's not working right with all bikes at the moment. The "show more" at the bottom is missing.
Strangely, it still works via the "Search" near the top.
As in type in "Starter" in the search field at the top, and it will then display the Starter Motor fiche, as well a few others.
Can't figure out what search words display the handlebar switches.

FWIW, HD hasn't used microfiche for decades. Before computers, the parts guy had a microfiche reader on the counter similar to this.
He would go to his filing cabinet to select the appropriate microfilm, and place it on the reader platter to magnify the film. Yeah, I'm old enough to remember them. My local library still has one that is available to use. Old newspaper articles are stored on microfilm.
I hated the microfiche system; it was much more cumbersome to use than a paper manual.
Microfiche is long gone, but when someone says online parts microfiche, everyone knows what it means (In Navy Aviation we called it the I.P.B. or Illustrated Parts Breakdown).
Made me think about the old time auto parts stores, with about 10 feet of parts books up on the counter...Chairs at the counter for the customers, and a parts guy who know his stuff...When I was just getting into cars and bikes in the late `60s I could have sat at that parts counter all day just to learn.
Trickle chargers are also a thing of the past, but lots of folks still call a battery maintainer a trickle charger.

I hear ya. Without mentioning any names, there's a retard that continues to use the term "fish" when referring to microfiche. Same goes for "bag" when referring to the oil tank or pan. When discussing anything related to HD motorcycles, I feel it is extremely important to use the proper terminology.
