2003 Heritage Softail Repair Manual?

Hi Guys,

Loving my new-to-me Harley so far. I'd like to find a repair manual for this bike. Does anyone have a favorite download spot, or a hard copy for sale?

Thanks,

Look on eBay, you can find old manuals for around $40-50 with shipping. This year I went got parts manuals. Nice to have.

You can get a brand new one from the MoCo for $142.83...

I don't mean this info to preach, but offer it just in case you are unaware....

The MoCo does not offer or support .pdf copies of their Service Manuals. Anybody selling a digital copy of the Factory Service Manual is selling a pirated copy, in violation of copyright laws...

As such, you'll never know what you're paying for until you get it. Some are OK, some are terrible, and some are really good.... But even in the best scenario, you are supporting a crook.

Your call whether you care or not.... many don't...

IMHO.... I always look at it the same as the guy who pays a super discounted price for the saddlebags someone stole off your bike.. If I knew the bags were stolen, I wouldn't want to be the guy who makes it worth the crooks time...

Just keep a lookout on eBay for a nice paper copy. They show up fairly often.
I paid $60 for mine shipped and it was in mint cond. Nothing beats a paper service manual right in front of you when working or planning on working on something.
I have service manuals for a couple of my bikes that are on the computer - I hate trying to use them.

Hold it - there is one in our classifieds right now.
