Best you can buy related to Shovelheads. Everything you need is
there , if you ride a Shovel your either rich enough to pay your Harley Dealer or you own this manual.
Price is unbeatable , they're offered for up to 60$.

Can bounce around between models a bit, but better than the Haynes version. Don't agree with those who say it's the best book ever!, but maybe it is the best of those out there. Index is better than Haynes manual.

Took my first ride on a Harley when I was 4 and been hooked on bikes since then. Bought this manual just to get an insight on how the shovelheads worked.

Much better than spending the money for the HD manuals which are written for professional mechanics. Language and pics are great. Great troubleshooting steps for entire bike in the 2nd chapter. Colored wiring diagrams. No Shovelhead owner, non-professional mechanic, should be without it.

If you own a Shovelhead, this is the go-to book even if you don't intend to do major wrenching yourself. You need to own this book.

The Clymer Harley-Davidson Repair Manual is a typical repair manual. Not nearly as much detail or information as a Service Manual but does cover most of the basics. Would like to see more specifics on my particular model, but I suppose sales of manuals covering only one model would not justify the printing costs.
