Default Service Manuals

I was looking at buying a service manual for my 883 Custom and was wondering if any ones were better then others? (ie. H-D, Clymers,...) Thanks

I personally prefer the factory manuals. You can pick one up from a place like Chicago Harley or Zanotti's that sell them for 20% off.

Go with the HDService Manual. I used it extensivly while I did the 1200 conversion and am always referring to it while wrenching. Excellent reference for your bike.

I got a 2 disc cd set on ebay.I printed it out and have been using it alot.It tells you how to disassemble and reassemble the enitre bike.It even tells you how to spoke rims.I do believe it is a Harley factory manual. It was much cheaper then a dealer will charge as it is with most parts on Ebay.
