Default Service Manual-2005 Electra Glide

Sorry if this has been covered before (although I'm sure it has). What, in your opinion is the best all encompassing service manual to get for the subject that is fuel injected. I bought the trike to ride and also to mess with to occupy my time and alleviate boredom. I've been riding a lot as well as cleaning, waxing, etc. So.....now its time to play around with a bit of wrenching as required (nothing yet but....). would like to know what the forum feels is the best one to have. So ?

Thanks

Best by far is a genuine factory service manual, available from your local friendly dealer, or on-line discount dealers. They can be found secondhand, but beware, as some prices are similar to a brand new one. If you want full details on the electronics, there may also be a dedicated electrical manual, in addition to the main volume. Be aware that down-loadable manuals are often illegal, as they break copywrite laws.

HD doesn't sell their service manuals in PDF format. Those sold on the net are illegal pirated copies. We don't allow discussion or distribution of illegal materials on HD Forums. Doing so is grounds for removal. This is just a warning!

No worries! I actually want one in a book form anyway. I'm old and don't work well without paper. I deleted the downloaded one even though there was a disclaimer stating it was not subject to any copyright! Not sure if the above "warning" was directed at me, but all I wanted was of the published copyrighted manuals, which was best and easiest to understand. If that's some kind of violation, then I guess I don't belong here.

So, please remove this entire thread, and if you're so inclined you can remove me as well. Back to just lurking I guess

Thicker skin. I don’t think it was directed at anyone, but a general warning. Nobody wants to lose this great forum over less than legal downloads.
