This is what I do to my service manuals, thought some of you may want too do them or may already do them. I take them to a local printing shop, have the backs cut and holes drilled for 3 ring books, you can take the back and slide it in the end section and the front of the manual on the cover. I like this because you can pop the rings and pull a section out make a copy of it and work off that as a check list and not mess up the orignal manual. It all so is good to repair manual that has a broken back and loose sheets. They charge 5.00 to cut and drill, I think that a $50.00+ is worth that investment. I posted a pic because I didnt want to see those little smiley guys with there sign moving up and down  I also print out my service, repair and parts added and keep them in the binder, along with instruction sheets you may get with something you add. Hope you like it, its handy for me.

Great idea! Now I can make a copy, and highlight a wiring diagram so I don't have to keep going back and forth trying to remember exactly where that darn wire went in the diagram. Thanks

Old Wrench, thanks for the idea. I just bought a new manual and your idea will come in handy. I'm new to CVO and don't have any pics of my bike on here yet. It kind of discurages me of posting anything because I've already got one of these Thanks again Hossdog

A DVD version of the manual like Chilton's Automotive DVD ROM manuals would be the real ticket. I have Chilton's DVD manual for my truck and the search tool is awesome. I's also cool to print the section and pictures for what your working on. And the zoom function helps some of us old blind folks.  Maybe someone is already offering a HD version of this but I haven't found one yet.

What would the manuals be without all those greasy fingerprints?  They are like scars proudly displayed after a battle!

Nice job really, I'm jealous. 

[murphy]

I would do that with my manual... if I had one.

Hey Murph, I've got a harley manual for a '97 Dyna, and Chilton's for the late model bagger...   one of those fill the bill?

[murphy]

I'm looking for one for an 06 Ultra... but thanks for the offer!

[Air51]

I have seen the '08 Touring manuals but I also noticed they have a '08 SERK manual as well.  Was wondering if purchasing both manuals was worth the cost or is the '08 Tour good enough?

[Fired00d]

You will need both. The touring manual will be the basic stuff, and the SERK supplement will be the things specific to your SERK.

Love to have the SM and PB on a DVD, thats the way we get them for Cat and it is nice. One of our guys, filled up a 80gig jump drive SM and PBs, our company safety manual, all our forms, hot work, tailgate safety meetings, daily OPS reports and so on, and you can carry it in your front pocket real nice. He said the good part about it was drinking beer while he worked on it each evening, the bad part was Damn that was a lot of beer  Now if I only had a USB port in the back of my head with a heads up display in my safety glasses oooohhhhhhh ya

I have a two sided scanner that will scan it pretty quickly, I like to have electronic copies of everything (I am a geek) - I have done the same thing with other manuals, but never thought to take them to a printer/copy shop to have the back cut off, mine usually have ragged edges and remnants of glue and paper all over them.

I've been watching eBay for a 2003 base manual and the SE Supplement - they go quick.
