Thanks, I might get me one of them... I bought the clymer manual and it's somewhere between the US and here at the moment. I can't stand the later version haynes manuals...

I've bought stuff from HDRS (Harley Davidson Repairs and Spares) in Gore, Dave Glover is his name, 0274 380 832 and Dave Parsons at HD Cycles in Hamilton has also been good to deal with. It depends what you're after but I have also dealt with JP Cycles in the States, stuff arrives on the doorstep, no dramas and cheaper than local suppliers generally. Shop around.

Yup, used Dave myself for parts - always seems to get them.
Also used the dude at Pukerua Bay, hard to beat his prices too.

i have found that there is a bargin to be had on Ebay if you have a paypal account its safer than giving your cc details out , but ask first what the cost of postage will be as some tend to overcharge to make up on a cheap price for the goods

The guys at Pukerua Bay are a wealth of Knowledge, and parts.

Prices were quite a bit less then what I was prepared to pay.

Junk it man, I had the Clymer then I picked up a Haynes at a 2nd hand book shop.
Those 2 will get you by but get your hands on a HD Factory manual and you'll see why. They may be pricey but worth every cent.

We've got a couple of Clymers and a couple of HD's, I've found them to be handy in different areas. Like all the different engine building books I've read over the years some have handy hints 'here' while other have handy hints 'there'. Buy them all, read them and draw your own conclusions but the best teacher is experience.
