- | ---- | + | ====== Related Manuals and Documentation ====== |
+ | See the Navigation menu on the upper left of this page. \\ | ||
+ | From there you can go to the main Ironhead section menu, the Reference section for general and in-depth procedures, and the Misc Resources for documentation. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Below are some suggestions for manuals for your ride. \\ | ||
+ | You should have, at minimum, a Factory Service Manual (FSM) and a Factory Parts Catalog for your year model. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | The FSM will have the most accurate information, procedures and specs. \\ | ||
+ | Clymer and Haynes make service manuals also for Sportsters but some of the information is in error to the factory FSMs. \\ | ||
+ | And some of the information in the aftermarket manuals is vague in information or procedures but they may have more pictures. \\ | ||
+ | So it is generally said you can get use from both an aftermarket manual and the factory service manuals but get the factory manual first. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Parts Catalog has part numbers of course but it also has exploded parts views. \\ | ||
+ | However, IT IS NOT INTENDED TO BE AN ASSEMBLY MANUAL. \\ | ||
+ | And some of the exploded views are confusing or not related to each other on the same pages. \\ | ||
+ | But, all in all, the exploded views do help finding what goes where. \\ | ||
+ | Most of the fasteners listed in the relevant parts catalog individual pages have thread sizes and lengths also in case you need those. \\ | ||
+ | [[techtalk:miscres:miscres12|Click Here]] to see the Factory Parts Catalog page in the Sportsterpedia for parts catalog uses and a full list of parts catalog numbers from 1957 to present. \\ | ||
+ | Some often acquire several year model parts catalogs and that page will help you decide which ones are right for you. \\ | ||

+ | ===== The Ironhead Multi-Year Parts Catalog Curse ===== | ||
+ | Below is a summary of an article on the Sportsterpedia Parts Catalogs page regarding parts book errors. \\ | ||
+ | You can also read the full article from this link: [[techtalk:miscres:miscres12#the_ironhead_multi-year_parts_catalog_curse|The Ironhead Multi-Year Parts Catalog Curse]]. \\ | ||
+ | Due to all of the errors and non corrected editions, it's always a good idea to acquire several year parts catalogs surrounding your year model. \\ | ||
+ | Which year catalogs you'll need will depend on many factors but the main Parts Catalog page in the Sportsterpedia will help you decide which ones you need. \\ | ||
+ | [[techtalk:miscres:miscres12|Click Here]] to see the Parts Catalog page. A full chart of all the parts catalogs made for Ironheads is at the bottom of the page. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Not all multi-year catalogs will list factory installed parts on your bike. | ||
+ | * You may need several year catalogs to determine factory installed parts for your year model. | ||
+ | * Some parts first appeared or only appeared in Parts Supplements, Service Bulletins or other literature | ||
+ | * Later catalogs may show parts for older models that were never factory installed on them. | ||
+ | * Some catalogs have missing parts and/or missing models in some parts listings. | ||
+ | * Some illustrations do not have a part number listed. | ||
+ | * Drawings may or may not look like your part number. | ||
+ | * Some exploded parts diagrams show the assembly in the wrong order or missing pieces. | ||
+ | * There may be misleading information about parts that fit your year model. | ||
+ | * Fastener lengths and thread pitch may change depending on catalog used. | ||
+ | * The MoCo knew about and tried to correct at least some of the parts catalog mistakes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Misc Resources in the Sportsterpedia ===== | ||
+ | There are links to many factory service bulletins, parts and accessory bulletins plus information on part numbers and casting numbers in the Sportsterpedia. \\ | ||
