Owner's Manual?

Hi,

Picked up my new-to-me 2006 Super Glide on Monday. After not being able to start it yesterday until I searched this forum a bit because I didn't understand the security system, I'm now wondering if I should be buying an owner's manual for the bike.

This being my first Harley, I've never seen a Harley owner's manual. Is it worth getting? Does it actually tell you how to do things like change the oil, etc.. or does it just tell you to bring the bike to the dealer for maintenance?

I'd save the money on the owner's manual and get the shop manual instead.

The owners manual is to generic! If you want to know the dos, don'ts and how-tos, and internal workings, etc. spend the extra dough and get the HD Service Manual.
