Default Service Manual

Hello,

I am owner of three metric bikes, Yamaha Raider, Kawasaki VN800, Yamaha FZ1. But, since last week, I'm a proud owner of a Heritage Softail Classic, 1998, Evolution engine.
I'm a bit confused regarding the service manual, as I have found on the net, more versions, please see two of them in the picture.
Why there are two, or maybe more versions?
All of them are official versions from DH?
What is the different between them?

Thank you in advance
Marcel

The latter one is more year oriented is all.
Also, I'd stay away from those DH manuals.
Stick with the HD ones.
