While your out shopping, stop at the HD dealer and pick up a set of the frame protectors. At under $15 its cheap insurance to make sure you don't scratch up the frames powdercoatfrom the jack. But more imporantly keep the weight of the bike off the shocks, something that will can damage them in time.
Get the service and parts manuals. The service manual will tell you how to do nearly anything you want or need to do to the bike. While the parts manual will get you all the part numbers of everything on all thesoftail bikes, in case you want something from another bike,as well as exploded drawings so you cann see a little better how things are puttogether.
Good Luck and ride safe [sm=biker2.gif]
