Default Softail service manual?

Looking for a service manual for my 93 softail springer. I found one on ebay but I don't know if its a complete manual. Anyone know where I can pick one up that covers everything?

While you are there getting the Service Manual I suggest the Parts Manual as well.
There is a bunch of useful info in it.

You can try Clymer, is not from HD but it's a good manual and covers everything about softail models of evolution era.

I'm going to get the official 93-94 Softail from HD because i prefer to have more than one point of view.

I have a Clymer for mine and as far as I'm concerned it ain't worth a damn.
The FSM is way better!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I grabbed a parts list a few years back off ebay. And I don't know about for Harley but I had a Clymer for an old sport bike and it wasn't worth the money I paid for it.

I picked up a 94 Softail as a project. I looked on Ebay and found two used books. Went to the dealer and bought a new book for less than the asking price online.

I am using Utube and the manual to try to get better at working on my on bike.
Also, the experience on this forum is very helpful,

Shamelessly stolen from a poster in another forum....

Find your manual part number and use that to search Ebay to be sure you have the right one. That's how I got most of mine.
