In before the lock, this downloading of illegal manuals won't fly on this forum..

Regardless of your opinion, its copywright theft, they dont have a relationship with Harley.

1) Harley could sell them themselves, they dont need these idiots. They already offer downloads of installation documents, it would be simple for them to offer manuals

2) Why would they let them sell (poorly scanned) manuals for much less than they sell the hard copies themselves?

3) if they were to offer them electronically, they'd do it through much more legitimate means, like Amazon, iTunes and Google Play

4) The reason this site shuts down these threads is because Harley has asked them to.

5) If I'm not mistaken, Harley has stated publicly that there's no such thing as a legitimate manual download.

6) And then there's this from their own web site: "The use of various company names and products in this ad exists solely for informational and descriptive purposes and does not infer a direct connection between our manuals and those companies and agencies mentioned. We have no associations with other manufacturers or their captive trademarks."

Why do you think they have a relationship with them?
