Default RE: know thy hog?

I have the Touring and the Touring Bolt On.&nbsp\\; I highly recommend the regular Touring, it's nice to see someone else doing the deed before I do, but I recommend having the service manual also, or you'll have to keep referring to the DVD for torque values, which aren't always the best setting for your specific ride.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
I do not recommend the Bolt On, unless you plan on accessorizing your bike to be like the one they are working with.&nbsp\\; They don't always show the best way of installing accessories either.

I did not care for the DVD set!&nbsp\\; The detail is missing and the video is sometimes too far from the work to see what's going on.&nbsp\\; That being said, it is informative at a very general level.

Have the Touring set.&nbsp\\; Not bad, but refer to the manual for specs.

Just ordered my touring versions yesterday. I'm going to pick up the service manual tomorrow for the 08. I'll let you know once I view the DVDs.
