Can anyone tell me where to find a picture or booklet online that shows what each part on a Harley is called??
I will be getting my first Harley and I want to know what I'm working with and what I'm talking about. When someone asks me what kind of air cleaner I've got or what engine I'm running (which are just a couple things I know) I want to know what they are talking about and how to answer. Also, I want to know what & where each part is so I know what I'm looking at. . . Hope this makes sense and thanks in advance for any information you may be able to give. . .:o)
Well let me say this. No one should give you and trouble being a woman and riding a bike, but if someone presses the point, you can always go and get a clymer or Haynes workshop book. Most Harley’s are not left stock anyway so it could very alot. The Harley webpage will have a spec page for each bike and it usually tells what kind of Carb or Injection system it is using. As far as the air cleaner, ditch the stock one and get a K&N filter. All in all if you have a Harley, you will be respected. If not, just forget about them. When its all said and done, its all about the ride, not the bike. Good Luck and Good Riding.
And if anyone is quizing you too much, they are either hitting on you, or being a jerk.
I don’t think you’ll find it on line, What you are talking about is the parts catalog the dealer would have.
What would probably be better is to get yourself a Service manual, it would describe most parts, but also give specs and instructions.
If you go to the Harley Davidson website, you can click on the left side for either new motorcycles or last years models. When the next screen appears, you can pick the specific motorcycle that you are purchasing. Once that screen appears, it will show a side view of the motorcycle. In the box will be several options, one of which is a 360 degree walk around, another will be a view of the front, back and looking from the seating position. In addition, there is a place to look at all of the specifications and features. By clicking on that, you can then see several orange dots. Each dot represents a different area with a complete description, such as the transmission, the way the gears are set up and that sort of thing.
First, go to:

and order a FREE catalog.
Inside, they have exploded views to correspond with the item numbers (and names)
Strech has a good idea, they do have quite a few. If you really want to know each part on YOURS though, I agree with Ride on. Get the parts book at the dealership. It will show you every part. The Service Manual will tell you how to take it apart, perform the services, and put it back together. Each one costs just over 50 bucks.
I don’t know where to get one of them, but at least half the parts are hidden from the eye, or a camera, so it is really hard unless you strip a bike to diagram each part.
