fix my hog

Hi, I'm sure some of you have invested in the "Fix My Hog" videos, looking for opinions on if you feel they are worth the $$$. Thanks

Can't say whether they're worth it or not, just that I've gotten by without them just fine.
Anything I've needed to know I've found in the service manual or online.

I haven't tried them yet. I have nothing against videos for helping me work on things. I may have to check and see if they have a sample video.

If you are new to wrenching they aren't bad at all. If you are looking for the Softail Maintenance DVD and the Softail/Dyna Bolt-On DVD shoot me an email. May be able to get you a set for 1/2 price....

i find the FMH DVD's are ok but not much great detail. if you want to be a Stage II tech... If your a handy person with tools, id say service manual would be enough... i think some details are left out and its towards Pre 2006 bikes... i have the whole touring set... i would of liked more details on replacing oil on all 3 holes... installing TD's in my opionion - utube has some great stuff if u hit right spot... would i recommend it.. !.. nah... service manual is pretty good.
