I can't see Rapidmanuals for some reason, however if they offer H-D service manual downloads they are breaking MoCo copywrite. One reason so many members recommend buying your own copy is that problem, of illegal copies, but mainly they are excellent books and well worth having your own copy. The cost is recovered the very first time you use it, when you save yourself an hour in a local workshop.
Other brands of manual offer colour photos and other info, which can be helpful, but cover a wide range of bikes and frequently trip up with poor info, or even a lack of accurate info.
