Default I hate to ask this... but...

Would anyone consider copying the section of their service manual on front fork removal... sliders trees etc... and emailing it to me...

I got an '05 Custom...

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Charlie D.

That's called copyright infringement.

Maybe you should consider buying a service manual...

No, copyright infringement is when you sell it to someone else nuts, you can share all you like

I will be getting one in a couple of days, if you don't have one by then, I will help you out

I have a copy of the 04 manual in PDF form. I'll send thesection you're looking for via email. Hope it helps. The section on the forks starts on pg 38.

I actually purchased a copy off of ebay for $10. The guy mailed me a CD with the manual on it. I transferred the files to both my laptop at home and onto my work computer. This way I can read it wherever I am and print out the pages if I need a hard copy. It's not a photocopied version either, very clean.

I hate to argue with you here but you are wrong. $$$ in exchange violates PUBLISHING Rights... Copying violates COPYrights no matter what you do with it. <--I do this for a living. If you want to GIVE him your original to borrow, that is legal. But not when it comes to software. And there I will stop before this becomes a complete dissertation.

And while it maybe both of that...what you do in your own PRIVATE messages is your own buziness..

Ditto Goth, He's right if you choose to be actually legal.

I have the paper manual but a PDF copy would be nice in the shop. Print out the pages you need and if they get dirty throw them away.
