That's just not a great idea. Isn't the Dyna service manual only about $40? Why save $20 and get incomplete information (I've never seen a third party svc manual that came close to the detail of a factory manual). Get the factory manual, you won't regret it.

Edit: WOW. I just looked at the price of the "17 manuals. About a hundred. I paid $48 for my '16. Scratch everything I said above about saving $20, but everything else still applies.

Factory service manual all day long. They jacket the prices up recently to like 120 or so but, there a few floating around on ebay and the half year 2016 "A" covers the lrs. So 16.5 or 2017 will cover most recent dynas

and what others said. Will pay for itself pretty quickly

Go with the factory manual as others have suggested. That was the first thing I bought for mine. My dealer wanted $130 AND I had to wait 2 weeks for it! So, ebay is your friend. Bought my new in the wrapper for around $85 shipped. Guy shipped Priority and I had it in a few days. PM me if you need his name, no affiliation.
