Default Best Manual
I have an 06 FLHRI (RK) that I am doing a lot of work to and a manual would be helpful. Is an HD manual the way to go? Or are some of the aftermarket manuals better like a Clymer or something? Would like to know from those who have and use them. Thanks!

H/D manual is the best. You can usually find a deal on them on Ebay.
