Harley techs don't use Clymers or any other manuals except for the authorized HD ones, you can't go wrong.

Ride safe!

[QUOTE

Factory Service manual and Parts Book are worth their weight in gold.[/QUOTE]

Esp the parts manual , when you call your dealer you have the number, they either have it or they don’t.

Some dealers have actual knowledgeable parts people who understand the name of a component

Others not so much.



Saves time and frustration for both !
