Default Shop manual
Happy New year everyone. I am looking for a shop manual for my ultra limited. I was wondering if anybody had a thought about the Clymer manual vs a Harley shop manual. I don't want to spend $150 for an actual HD manual. Is the HD worth the extra $100? Thanks everyone.

Try ebay. Last year I wanted one for my '16 RG and I found new ones on ebay for around $79. HD dealer wanted something like $139 or so. A little later I hadn't found anything better so I was gonna get the ebay new one for the $79 or so and when I went back on ebay they had used ones for $75. Bought it. Looks like new to me.

For my 2012 FHTCU, I bought the Clymer. You've got the bible for only 40 bucks
