Anybody got both Ultra Classic and Tri-Glide supplement service manuals? Are they worth the expense to have both or would the Ultra alone suffice? '09 or '10.

 

I have the 2 wheel touring, the Triglide Supplement and the Parts manuals. I find all 3 invaluable. Depending on what your going to work on you may not find it in the TG supplement. A good example would be exhaust installation, you have to use the manual for the 2 wheel touring bikes to get the procedure and torque specifications because the TG supplement doesn't have it. The parts manual is good to have when you want to order parts from one of the 20 - 25% off dealers and the break downs are nice to have when you want to see all the pieces.

 

I have both, great info.

 

I dont have the Tri glide yet but on my old bike (Electra glide classic) I got on ebay and found it for $10. The person will send you a file to your email address and you down load it to your hard drive. From there you can print or copy to a CD. It works just like the $60 book.....

 

FYI

Take your manual to Kinko's and have them put it in a loose binder for 10 bucks. If you get it dirty, no problem. If you have it open to a certain page it won't close back on itself due to the thick spline. Comes in handy when your hands are greasy and you need to keep it open to a certain spot.

 

That's a pretty neat idea, sure beats using a screwdriver, extension or ratchet to mark your spot.

 

I can't take credit for the idea. I saw it on another forum. I can't remember what the spline is called but it's the round plastic tube with about a dozen fingers that interlock the pages. I also had them tab the index and sections. *Caution* Don't lend it out, still waiting on my '10 to make it's way back home.

 

Who is 25% off Best ive got was 20% free shippping at LSHD. 25% would be nicer.

 

Every now and again I can find a part at Zanotti that hits close to 25% off. On average they are 20%.

 

Dam! My brother lives less than 10 miles from Zanotti's (if that's the one in Butler, PA). I'll have to stop by next time up this summer.

I also like that idea of downloading the manuals from vendor on Fleebay. With a fresh ream of paper, I can print it myself and stick it in a 3-ring binder.
