Default Buying a manual

I have an 07 Nightster, where is the cheapest place to get a manual? Dealer is about 60 bucks, and I am sure it is well worth it. Just curious if anyone has found them online.

Thanks,
Josh

I just paid the $60, but you might hit eBay or Craigslist.

$60 on a manual might seem steep, but it's WELL worth the money.

If your not in a big rush to get it, watch around on ebay and the classifieds here for a couple weeks, but as previously stated, the 60 dollars is not that bad. Those manuals are incredible.

Like has been mentioned, keep checking online and be patient. I got a little impatient and paid more than I thought I was going to get it off eBay. But the day it came in and I used it, I don't feel bad about paying a bit more than some others have.

Check Chicago Harley - P/N 99484-07. Should be around $48 bucks.

If you get one on ebay, or similar, make sure it's for the 07 model year. There are a LOT of differences between 07 and earlier years.
