Default Very noob question

ok here is a very noob question..but I was wondering if there was a website or something that would tell/show where parts are on a bike. So that i know what im shopping for when im looking for parts. For an example the inspection cover.

Please dont flame to much lol

Harley's web site has a complete list of parts and accessories for every year and model. If you mean a complete schematic of say the engine or transmission, I would say you might be able to find it on the web. I have seen them.

I relize that but ya a schematic type so that i know what/where the actual piece goes. Like i have no idea where the inspection cover goes all i see are pics of the cover itself not of where it fastens to the bike

Do yourself a favor....Spend some Bucks on a HD service manual, and a HD parts manual. Those are well worth having. You may even be able to find them "used" on the Forums, or Ebay.

Best wishes....Tim(HT)

The part number will show when you add the part to the cart.

+1 on Ronnies. THE best site and they're quick to answer any questions you have. (that's where I found out that the swingarms are the same on the 07 softails (including Fatboy and Heritage).
