Default Service manual question

I have a 2002 Touring Road King Police Fuel Injection bike.

Is there any real difference between having a 2002 service manual and a 2003? I picked up a 2003 manual brand new for half the price.

Good question! The only way to find out is to use it. You may come across something that is different, but I would be surprised. During '02 model year the MoCo were building up for their Centenary and making as many 100th edition bikes etc as they could, so I suspect there is little to choose between those two years.

If you do come across any differences you can always refer to an on-line parts website, which may help.
