Default help got the wrong manual

I recently picked up a 2012 FLHXSE3 and when I got the bike I also purchased the manual.

Tonight when I went to look for how to remove the lowers so I can remove the head pipe, I realized the manual I got is the electrical service manual.

Would anyone be kind enought to tell me the torque settings and sequence on the head bolts for the header? I could also use all the other torque settings on the exhaust.

Any help on the lower removal would be appreciated as well.

I would also be willing to purchase a 2012 manual!

thanks
