Never heard of Donnie Petersons guide. Best approach to get the manual is to go buy it. The dealer can order them, you can get them from the online dealers, etc. The parts list is also very helpful.
Also, is this Donnie Petersons unofficial technical guide a wise investment for a newbie?
Thanks in advance.
Get the service manual, first. Then later, if you like , & have the spare change, get Donnie's book. Good data. Donnie was the tech guru in the biker rag, American Iron , for a while. Been building & wrenching on bikes for many years. A lot of knowledge gained over time.
Ride Safe,
Harold
