Collection of Harley-Davidson and Clymer Motorcycle Service and Parts Manuals

This item is a collection of approximately 15-20 individual Clymer and Harley-Davidson service manuals and parts catalogs, primarily for Harley-Davidson motorcycles, ranging from older Shovelhead models to more contemporary XL Sportsters and Touring Series bikes. The manuals are constructed from paper, with various binding types including stapled, perfect bound, and possibly some spiral-bound or comb-bound examples. Colors vary, with some identifiable by their black Clymer covers with white text, and others in lighter or beige tones. Observable titles include 'Clymer Harley-Davidson XL Sportster 2004-2013' (M427-4), 'Clymer Harley-Davidson XL/XLH Sportster 1986-2003' (M425-5), 'Clymer Harley-Davidson FLH/FLT Touring Series 2006-2009' (M252), 'Clymer Harley-Davidson FHT/FLT Twin Cam 88 & 96 1999-2001' (M430-4), 'Clymer Harley-Davidson Shovelheads 1966-1984', '1991 FX/SOFTTAIL MODELS SERVICE MANUAL', '1978 TO 1984 F/FX MODELS SERVICE MANUAL', '1995 XLH MODELS SERVICE MANUAL', '1998 XLH MODELS SERVICE MANUAL PN99484-98', '1998 XLH MODELS PARTS CATALOG PN99451-98A', and '1998 DYNA MODELS PARTS CATALOG PN99439-98'. The overall condition of the manuals appears to be used, with visible signs of wear such as frayed edges, bent corners, discoloration, and dirt on the covers and spines. Some pages might also exhibit oil stains or grease marks typical of items used in a workshop environment. The bindings show varying degrees of stress and potential looseness, but most appear to be intact. There are no overt signs of significant water damage or large tears. The accumulation of these specific service and parts manuals suggests a resource collection for mechanics or enthusiasts working on a range of Harley-Davidson models from the late 1970s through the early 2010s, indicating an estimated age range from roughly the late 20th century to the early 21st century.
