Default Service manual

I finally decided to bite the bullet and get a new service manual from the dealership that sold me my 1999 Fatboy last year. They treated me well, and I enjoyed the experience. I had to order it, so I did and as I was walking around the dealership salivating, I ran into my salesman from last year. We started talking about business and things. He told me they sold more bikes in the first week of February (22), and with 3/4 of them new than they did in the whole month of January. He also told me they are having a tough time selling to millenials. He said they have very few coming into look, with price being a big problem.The conversation then turned to the LiveWires. I asked them if they are getting any. He said they are going to be one of the few dealers in the area. He showed me where they had painted a wall blue in the dealership (Isn't that some type of heresy, blue?) He said they had to be a authorized LiveWire dealer to get them, and they had to pay big bucks for that privledge. They are installing electric charging stations. He said they have a list started of people wanting to buy them.The first guy on his list is a guy that buys a lot of bikes from them. He then called the salesman and told him to take him off the list when he found out the price. The salesman told me they are probably going to take a loss on them, but they hope to make it up in traffic from people wanting to see the new bike,

I think it would definitely be cool to check the LiveWire out, but I wouldn't be interested in buying one.
