Where do I purchase a service manual?
I know it's a newbie question...
1. Dealer Item?
2. Is it downloadable / PDF ?
3. Is there more than one company that makes them (like car service manuals)?
4. Cheapest place to buy?
Thanks. I did a search and all that turned up was that the service manual is a must have...

Dealers have new ones. They are even assigned part numbers. Used ones are available wherever you find one. There are others like Clymer, but I've never seen one with the detail of the HD manual.

A dealer can order them for you and some carry a few in stock.
I bought mine from the local Indy since he is cheaper than a dealer.
Get the part number and could order from some of the online dealers as well at a discount.

You can buy it from Zanotti for $46.20 vs $60.00 at the dealer. Sorry, no legal .pdf version is available. You can find the part number on the H-D website, based on your year and model. No VIN number required. If you're talking about the 2000 FXDX you mentioned in other posts, the part number for the service manual is 99481-00.

I got mine through Amazon used for 35.00. When you get one take it to Kinkos and have them spiral bind it. $4.95 when I had mine done. One of the best $5.00 I ever spent. When you open it it opens flat and stays open, It's great.

I still have $125 left to spend at the stealer. I guess I could just buy it from them...nothing else in that place I want or need.
