Born again rider!
« on: August 10, 2010, 10:43:15 PM »
 :orange:

  Hello to all !!!  I have been absent from the cycling world for about 26 years while life happened! As a soon to be MTnestr I have decided to return to the carefree years of my yout....  Back in the day I raced 125 class in HS and rode a Honda V45 Magna on the road til meeting the mother of my headaches...er.....children!  We sold the bike and got busy.....

  Now that I have summed up my life in 4 sentences I would like to say that I have seen the light.... With some help from my local HD dealer (thank God for demo rides) and my wifes uncle (and his kickin Duce) I purchased a 2010 CVO Softail Convertible. Blue and black (looks like DEEP blue/purple to me) used with only 421 miles on it (it had 171 when traded!)  I am completely in lust with this bike!

  So now for the question....thanks for bearing with me  ;D  A buddy at work recommends I get the service manuals for the bike. Being an ole cage gearhead I have manuals for the cars in my life so this makes sense even though I purchased the lifetime service contract from the dealer. My HD dealer says I should get the Softail manual and also the FLSTSE supplement. The supplement is a no brainer but is the softail manual the one I need? Seems I saw a video for the FLSTSE which says it was based on another HD platform... 

  Thanks for any help in advance!!

Usually the manuals contain more than just one model. When I got my manual for my SEUC it had all the Touring models. So I would say yes, you need the general Softail manual and insert.
