Default 1999 Road King Classic Service Manual

I only bought my 99 RK last year and mistakenly didn't purchase the service manual.

I realize now how valuable that manual is. Looking online at the HD website and each manual is $60. But I found a website from "Clymer" and their manuals are around $35.00.

Are the Clymer service manuals pretty good manuals and useful for repairs and such?

spend the money and get the HD one. Ive got several manuals for my cars and trucks and I never really liked the Clymers. Chiltons arent bad but nothing is as good as the factory in my own opinion.

Get the factory manuals: owners, service, & parts, even if they're on CD.
