Quite serious!
The downloads are for the benefit of our members and many join the site just to download a manual which they soon find out isn't the way to do it.
If a member is an active member on the forum with posts that contain replies instead of one word posts just to get the 20 post minimum, the 20 posts becomes a non issue.
It's appearant that you came here to the forum just for the manual judging from how many posts you make mention of that fact in the first day you are here.
Read the rules again,Need minimum post count and/or minimum length of membership before you can download the files.
You havent been an active member long enough:s

Try 150 post! to download. Lucky I have alot to ask and post.
don't forget on top of the 150 posts - you have to be a member for a certain amount of time ALSO!!!! It's a 2 part system to keep the "free" loaders from here!!

I'm old, I like manuals in their paper form. I picked up my 04' FB service manual last week at the local dealer. $60......Well worth it to me.

While I agree the HD factory manuals are the way to go, it does not discount the Clymer manual, it is NOT rubbish...! Any manual is only as good as it's contents and trust me NO manual is much much worse as it means NO RESOURCE or help. The Clymer one is abbreviated and while it certainly omits a lot of stuff, it combines information from all 3 manuals HD provides, and offers some troubleshooting, pictures and diagrams that are refreshingly helpful including a color coded schematic which is VERY helpful. And it is the one I pack when going on a trip in a freezer-loc bag.:s
The HD Servce Manual of course, is the de factor standard; the HD Electrical Diagnostics manual which details the flow charts, lookup tables and "technical information" above the cursory remove and replace stuff is helpful and IS in some ways "military in its delivery" (I like it); and the specific model Parts Book with more detailed Bill of Materials and Part Identifier diagrams...yeah at $60 or so each they are a tidy sum, BUT a bargain from HD (well "less than hunerd dallah anyways)" Anybody price the OEM manuals from the big 3 for your car or truck...lets see typically 3-5 volumes at about $80 each...don't complain, the cost of ownership is one thing, the cost of service is something else entirely, but your ride will thank you for it!
