I bought the softail edition after I got rid of my sportster. Very basic information. I also bought the service manual, which was money well spent. I would save your money and just get the service manual unless you are new at changing oil, clutch adjustment, etc.

+1, buy a service manual and read, read, read. Search the tech forums as well. IMHO. Geez

buddy has both the touring and soft tail dvd, very basic info. that's in the manual but if you learn better by watching than reading it's money well spent. your still going to need the manual so get that too.
