Question Help with capacities

I just got a 09 road glide and it came with no owners manual. I would like to know how much fuel it holds, 5 1/2 are 6 gallons. Any help would be great. Thanks.

It's probably 6 gallons. My 2008 Electra Glide Classic had a 6 gallon tank.

You can also find a manual to buy on EBAy, Search for 2009 Harley Owners Manual and find the 2009 touring manuals.

You can also probably go to a Harley dealer and buy one. I don;t know if they go back that far, but that is the way I got my Classic manual.

I don't know where all the lost owners manuals go - there must be a mountain of them somewhere! You can get one from your local dealer or download a copy from the H-D website, just go to the Owners tab. If you are planning to do your own maintenance get yourself a factory service manual, which will have everything you need, from those capacities to stuff you never knew you should know!
