Default Service Manual

After some digging in the forums, I've gotten the feeling that the HD Brand service manual is the only way to go. Another couple of posts suggested that I get the parts manual because of the exploding diagrams. Does anyone here have an opinion on this?

Parts Manual

Service Manual


Also, how does the manual break out the differences between models? Does it assume most bikes are very similar or does it have a section for each trim?

Thanks for your inputs ~

Woody

Fixed - thanks. I'm better with a wrench than I am with the interwebs.

A must have. I think the Condition of my books says it all. Parts book makes it easier to see how things go together because of exploded views

Im using a 2013 HD service manual for my 13 flstn and my sons 00 flstf. There are some differences, but no problems. I am using Ronnies HD online parts diagrams.
