I have the same question, only for a 2003 RK Police. Do they make a "for Dummies" shop manual??

My vote is for the service manual from HD. Sometimes you have to sort out what is actually necessary when it comes to removeing parts to get to another that you may be working on. For instance, the manual may say you need to remove the tank for something when it is not actually necessary. Other than that, you will have everything you need in that book.
