Default 2012 FDXWG Service manual recommendation
Looking for a recommendation on a service manual for a 2012 FDXWG. Clymer, Haynes or HD. Any one publisher better than the others?

^ Agreed. I've used mine a few times, even when I probably didn't need to. It's nice to have around.

Depends on what you plan on doing..HD is best for serious mechanic who will do anything including acquiring the additional special tools or improvise them (lot of times OK for one bike but in some cases can cause a lot of problems..a stick will sometime lock up a primary drive but makes a mess and if you have a piece of flat-bar and a hacksaw a good one can be made) but sometimes HD assumes you have a background in motor repair. General maintenance, the others probably fit most needs. If you are serious, just starting out with Harley you will have the HD (mechanical and electrical diagnostic) and one of the others.

With a 2012 model, I'm fairly sure the aftermarket is unable to produce the service manual for your bike. You have one source. The MoCo.

You can buy them on ebay cheaper than you can from the dealer. Either way, whatever the cost, it's some of the best money you'll spend on your bike.
