Default Manuals

I'm going to buy a Service Manual and Parts Manual for my 2010 FLHTCU.

Can someone tell me what the Electrical Diagnostic manual covers and should I buy it as well?

It mostly covers diagnostic trouble codes and how to test/repair for such things that cause the codes. I would buy a service manual, parts manual and EDM but that's just me.

Since there are so many new touring owners, I wonder if someone could put together a group buy for 2010 touring shop manuals ?

So when a "shop manual" is referenced, does that mean a Clymer's or Hayne's manual? Or can you purchase the actual Harley Davidson shop manual?

I bought the SM but I use this site for part #'s: http://partsfinder.onlinemicrofiche....?Type=12&A=609 followed by a quick phone call to the stealer to confirm part #. So far so good.

Get the actual Harley Davidson manual.
It is model and year specific for you bike.

The Hayne's and Clymer's manuals will cover multiple years and are not near as good.

The first time you have an electrical problem, you will be glad you spent the money for the diagnostics book. The dealer will charge more to find the problem than it costs to fix it, and they will do the excact same thing that this book tells you to do. Its an easy to use, and easy to follow step by step instruction manual.

I have all three manuals for both my bike (2008 Ultra) and the wife's bike (2006 Deluxe)

Once you get your manuals, takle them to Kinko's and get them spiral bound. Much easier to keep your place when working on things, and its really cheap to have done (about 5.00 per book)
