The srevice manual not only has part numbers and detailed instructions on maintenance and repair, but also exploded views of the components...1 demerit for using "noob"

If I recall correctly, there's a sticky at the top of the general discussion area that has the parts manual online, for free, with parts numbers.

I have an 05 touring service manual and it does not have the part numbers at all...and 1 demerit for spelling service wrong.

You can find service manual computer discs on ebay as well, and print out only what you need if that's of any interest to you.

The SERVICE manual does not/nor has it ever had part numbers in it. That's why they call them "Parts Manuals" LOL

HOLY CRAP!!!!! No part numbers? Well it has some part numbers. But if I was a mechanic, the only thing I would be able to say is "the part on page 3-42". The best thing about the "TOURING MODELS 2005 HARLEY-DAVIDSON SERVICE MANUAL" is the pictures...I like pictures.

Without the manual I would never have done any of my own service...and I only do the very basics...fluids, chain adjustment, lighting.

Agreed and I'm looking around for an 05 touring parts manual now. Found one on zip file but I'm more of a physical book guy with stuff like that.
