Hands Down Best Harley Accessory
I bought a PARTS manual for my bike. Already had Service manual.
The Harley catalog is for Add-Ons. What happens if you need a standard equipment part? You have to go to your dealer.
My manual cost $48. I have recently purchased two STANDARD parts from Zanottis and Chicago Harley. The 20% savings, on just two parts, paid for the book!!!!!
I am no longer a slave to the local damn dealer.
Part number for 09 Touring Parts Catalog: 99456-09A

The parts manual is great, wish I had one. But if I really need a part number I find just searching this forum usually gets good results. If that don't work I just ask here and somebody usually has a number in no time! Or I go into my local dealer get all the numbers I need and then order online.

I have one and use it regularly...mostly to provide guys like the one above numbers...but hey it is useful. I don't like going in to the dealer for numbers unless I am going to buy from them. I think it makes a bad statement when I go in for numbers and then buy somewhere else. Especially when the parts guy comes out to check out my new stuff and notices I got what he looked up from somewhere else. The way I do it now, he gives me 10% off everything because we have a good relationship,,,which is good for the parts I need now. Anything else I research myself and order through Zanotti's or Chicago and the parts guy doesn't get upset about it....JMHO

Wurk truk...Excellent point! Why be a slave to your dealer and their F'd up pricing when you can find the numbers and buy online! I've been advocating this since joining the boards a year ago. Now I've started a whole following on Ft Bragg that does the same since our local dealer (prior military himself) could care less about us!
At least I will say that the local Victory Dealer, prior military himself, will order parts for us Harley Guys and give us 10% off...sad to think that the local non-harley competition takes care of us this way and the regular Harley dealer is so money grubbing that he won't.
