They never had a manual and CMC's been gone since the late 90's. The bike will need attention regular and trick with these kits choppers is don't let the little stuff go, stay on top of it. It will be a learning experience but worth it , the CMC's were not as bad as some of them and they were basic enough most replacement parts can be found in Custom Chromes catalog I wasn't joking about that part. I'd do some homework and hunt up an old school indy shop that's been around a while they will be about your only source besides ebay for stuff.
