Went to HD dealer today to buy a service manual for the Freewheeler. Told the parts guy I had a Freewheeler Trike and wanted a service manual. He said "do you have a trike or a Freewheeler". I said I have a 2015 Freewheeler Trike. He said "HD makes 2 trikes" and I said yes I have the Freewheeler. He still didn't get it. I had to open the parts catalog and show him the Freewheeler. Unbelievable.

In any event, he didn't have a service manual but said I could order it. He then showed me the manual they had in their service department and it said on the front cover that it was a supplemental manual. I asked him was there more than one manual? He didn't know. After this conversation I didn't know if this guy knew what he was doing so I left. I looked on HD's website but could not find a service manual for a Freewheeler. Can someone give me the correct P/N for the service manual? Is there more than one manual?

Thanks,

Sunman

No Problem.

If I may suggest, if you acquire them all, you will have quite a collection of read material, and an investment!

The really bad aspect is they are glued-spine bound; and, that makes working with them a bit taxing at times. I had mine cut and spiral-bound again to make it easier to use them. I know, even more money; but, I have to say it probably was a good investment - not having to fight to keep them open to a page anymore.

I am tempted to take them to a buddy of mine and get them scanned (No, Not For Sale!) but to have them in PDF format on a disc or jump drive to store on the Freewheeler..... Or, upload them to the Cloud and be able to use them on my iPad.....

Even with the above, I have to say that I would never give up the original, paper manuals - they are the best!

Where did you get them cut and spiral bound ... great idea ... they always close on me at the wrong time.
 
What I did with some of my manuals was unbound them, punched holes with a hole punch and put them in three ring binders.

Well, they have the capability where I work; so, I did it on a lunch.

But, I know places like Staples, OfficeMax, and Kinkos can do it.......hope that helps.

Also, a note, if you get the two touring manuals you will find them rather large. I sort of wished I had split them into two as I rebound them.....may just do that yet....just an added thought.

Jack,

Where can the didgital service manual for the Harley Freewheeler be viewed and/or downloaded? (Free or purchase)

Is a didgital owners manual available too?

Does the Freewheeler have its own manual or just a supplement that goes with the touring model's manual?

I'll likely purchase a paper copy at some point but I could use one now and I can see where a digital copy that could easily be taken with you could come in quite handy.

Thanks!

Tom

Service manual for 2017 Freewheeler part number???

Anyone know the part number for the Service Manual on the 2017 Freewheeler with the new M8 motor? Thanks....:) Can it be ordered or do you have to go to a HD dealer?
 
I just entered and added my vin # and all that was offered was the info that is in everybody's booklet that came with the bike....?
 
Don't remember if this was the place where I ordered my digital manual or not but they have them.

You're looking for the 2017 touring models manual, covers all the touring models with the trikes starting on page 1420.

Ordered it when I did over the front & rear suspension on my 2017 Freewheeler, simply copied the pages I wanted and stapled them together.

I just contacted them & will be ordering. This includes the main touring manual, the electrical manual, and the trike supplement. Thanks for the link, dannymax.

Use the code "15EMAIL" at checkout for 15% off.

Yes, I am frugal, but I have heard other words used. ;)
 
Just a quick update. Why did I not order this a year ago!:gah: It is 1,694 pages of good reading & for under $17, it is money well spent. For now, I need to quit drooling over it & copy the download to my external hard drive.:cool:

UPDATE: another very nice feature is when your looking at the table of contents, everything is a link, so if you see something your interested in, you can click on it & jump right to it. Very nice!
