Welcome to the Forum.

You can take your questions to the Touring section. YouTube is a good resource for DIY videos.

Pretty much the same question I was going to ask. Factory service manuals usually can't be found online, but I'd even be happy to get an online version of my '05 Electra Glide's OWNERS manual. Somewhere in the chain of ownership the book was left behind. It seems ridiculous the H-D doesn't put owners manuals on their website just as lawnmower, microwave, GPS, etc., etc. manufacturers do.

If you are familiar with torrents, you can search for your specific year and model manual and download the torrent.
