-\\+====== Related Manuals and Documentation ====== 
 +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__. \\ 
 +**Note**: Updated manuals sometimes correct mistakes from the original manuals and some are updated simply to add mid year intro models. \\ 
 + 
 +**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. \\ 
 +

   * Styling: Though the Sport's '98 color palette is limited to black, the blacked-out treatment extends to many unique corners, including the mirrors, headlight eyebrow, handlebar, and rear fender rails. The engine has a variety of complementary finishes that also make it distinctive. The racing-style saddle and checkered-flag tank logo distinguish the Sport from any other machine. Though the vibration would make us reluctant to choose it for long-distance rides, Harley Sportster 1200 Sport provides more punch around town than other H-Ds and can provide hours of pleasure on winding roads. Its distinctive styling makes it a natural choice for riders who like the brand but don't want a me-too Harley cruiser.  ((http://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/motorcycle-road-test-harley-davidson-xl1200s-sportster-sport  ))   * Styling: Though the Sport's '98 color palette is limited to black, the blacked-out treatment extends to many unique corners, including the mirrors, headlight eyebrow, handlebar, and rear fender rails.
