Default Reliable maintenance manual

I’ve just got a 03 Road King CVO screamin eagle. There was no owners manual that may of had the fluid capacities when changing fluids. Is there a reliable website where I can look up fluid capacities, or maybe even a owners/maintenance book I can purchase?
ALSO, I’d like to find a parts list for my bike in the event I need to replace a part I can quickly research the list and find the part number. Anything recommended?
thanks!

Have a read, may want to post in "wanted to buy" for a manual.

Could you check with a dealer and see if you can get a service manual and a parts manual? I buy these for my bikes and they have a wealth of info in them. Parts manual is great as not only does it show part numbers, but exploded views of various sub-components.

Your dealer should be able to get you an owner's manual for your bike.

Flea Bay should be your friend when looking for manuals. Just watch the prices. Look in the swap meet section here as well.

an owners manual can be had on Harley's site.
That will tell you the basics for when, what, where and how many

If you intend to do any work yourself on the bike beyond fluid changes, the factory service manual is golden

For older bikes you can find factory manuals on eBay $40-5o with shipping that look brand new.

These model years used three service manuals - a touring service manual, a "screamin eagle supplement" manual. and an electric diagnostic manual. If your bike is a "FLHRSE" model, we may have the SE supplement available. All the service manuals have been claimed.
