You can get more information in the book than you can online.
That said Ronnies is a good quick reference place.

I have the OEM and the Haynes for mine (a friend gave me the Haynes) and the OEM one is hands down the better one IMO.
When I first got the Haynes I tried looking up a torque spec and couldn't find it.
It has been a drawer ever since.

I'd check your belt final drive tension....if it's too "loose" it will chirp like you describe. While you're at it, check your primary chain tension, though if it's loose, it won't give you a chirp.
Good luck!

squeek and squeal ?
Try to determine exactly what type of noise you are hearing , is it a metal noise or possibly an intake leak etc.
Test ride many times to verify and determine what and from where .?
Can you record the noise ?
Need as much info. as you can provide to help you.

It ended up being a loose timing cover. I figured it out when I heard a clanging while going down the highway, only to find the timing cover missing. Lol. Managed to snag a used one off of eBay for 1/3 of what Harley wants for one, but caught the devil trying to put it on. I couldn't get the cover to stay secure even using loctite. Thanks for all of the replies. Finally did get it to stay on using a little gorilla glue and the loctite. I hope I never have to take that cover off for any reason.
