| + | 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__. \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Factory Service Manuals (FSM)**; \\ | ||
| + | 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. \\ | ||
| + | [[techtalk:miscres:miscres10|Click Here]] to view the Factory Service Manual page in the Sportsterpedia. \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Parts Catalogs**; \\ | ||
| + | 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. \\ | ||
| + | Below is a simple list of original and "latest edition parts catalogs. | ||
| + | The in-between year books may show different part numbers for the same year model bike. \\ | ||
| + | [[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. \\ | ||
| + | (complete list of other parts catalogs and supplement catalogs that pertain to each year model on the bottom of that page) \\ | ||
| + | Some often acquire several year model parts catalogs and that page will help decide which ones are right for them. \\ | ||
