A service manual from a HD dealer runs $60.00 and you will pay for it the first time it keeps you from taking it in for regular service. Without a doubt the best "accessory" you can buy.

Definitely buy a HD manual!! I own many in my shop and I buy ones that I need when a bike comes in that I don't have one for. They are the best tool in your box!!
