Default RE: 08 Service Manual

I don't mean to over-simplfy the process, but wouldn't most of the information be the same as the 07 year. Therefore only requiring updates to the existing manual that pertain to 08, and not completely having to rewrite it.

Yo Dawg... If they were released yesterday... the three dealers near me in So. Cal don't know about it. The bestI have gotten is like Chuck 1 said... They can call HD next week after the holiday to get an update. The parts computer doesn't even have a projected release date.

just heard on the RKO radio network that the 2008 manuals will be released the same date as the 2008Rocker and Rocker-C. September 12th 2012. They used the SWAG method to determine this.
(scientific wild *** guess)

Tell you dealer to punch in 99483-08 in the part availability section of h-dnet. It used to show a "future delivery date" of 12-27-07. Now it is blank, meaning it is available.
