Better than nothing, kind of, July 10, 2008
This review is from: Harley-Davidson Flh/Flt Twin Cam 88, 1999-2003 (Clymer Motorcycle Repair) (Paperback)
I got frustrated using this manual to do basic maintenance as well as major work. For example, just doing a 2500 mile service requires flipping back & forth between the instructions and the tables of torque specs, fluid capacities, etc. Annoying as heck. Some of the pictures are useful, others are completely useless.
What really got me was that in many cases, the procedures listed are just plain completely WRONG. Example: Removing the tank canopy with fuel filter, etc. on a 2003 Touring model. Clymer says to pull the assembly straight out of the tank. Completely wrong!! Only after I bought the Harley service manual did I find out there is a spring-loaded hinge, and you CAN'T get the canopy assembly out unless you know how to do it.
The Harley manual is WELL worth the extra $20-30. My Clymer manual went out with last week's recycle, and I won't buy another one.

This repair manual is excellent, detailed instructions and pictures aid in repairs. It's actually equal or better than HD's.

This review is from: Harley-Davidson Flh/Flt Twin Cam 88, 1999-2003 (Clymer Motorcycle Repair) (Paperback)
I had a service manual from Harley and it was not as useful as this Clymer's manual. The pictures are better and the descriptions are more complete and easy to follow. Any one trying to do their own repairs or just getting to know the workings of their bike will be more than happy with it. Professionals will be satisfied with either book. Ride safe people.
