Id like to get a service manual for my new 79 flh, but the HD ones are really expensive. $150

Any suggestion on where to get one at a resonable price?
Is there an after market one that it worth a dam?
I have the hd service manual for my other bikes and past bikes and they seem to have a lot of good info in them
I have the HD service manual for my 80 ironhead and it was $48, why so much more for the shovelhead one?

 

I have both the big twin Harley Service manual for up to early 1978 and the big twin Clymer manual for 1966 - 1984. I like them both for the different reason. Personally if I were new at it I'd probably prefer the Clymer. To me anyway, the factory service books have an air of being written for people who already pretty much know what they're doing. Some folks say the Clymer sucks because it has some mistakes in it. Well, so does the factory book. so there!
Amazon has the Clymer manual for under $30.oo

Hope that helps a little.

 

Keep an eye on ebay, you can get an original HD service manual for $40 to $60. shipped.

 

if you search on line they have one posted you can PDF if that is the right term and copy one

 

I dont know why i didnt look on ebay but they are all over ebay. I just ordered a reprint of the original hd service manual for 45$ with free shipping, not bad
