Default Owner's manual

I am a brand new Harley owner, I just posted my Hello post in the new members area. I just got a 2005 Harley Davidson Sportster and it didn't come with an owners manual. Does anyone know if there is a place I could download one online, or purchase a printed copy? Thanks for the help.

Welcome to the forum. Do a google search. I found the service manual for an 05 in PDF form a while back. Don't remember if an owners manual was there.

I'm sure you can get one from the HD dealer, for a price. Try searching eBay & CraigsList. Also, I'd recommend getting the service manual over owner's manual - better detail & provides means to self-maint.
