service manual
I'm trying to decide on which service manual to buy. The one from harley davidson for 60 dollars or the one from the internet for 10 dollars don't know who it made by. Have anybody brought one from the internet, if so how good is it.
Official hd book the only choice.

The H-D factory manual will pay for itself the first time you use it.
whether you buy one new, used or pirated... ( and you can save 20% with one of the online dealers like zanottis )
the 3rd party stuff is junk, way too general, and possible to get you painted into a corner, maybe it tells you 99% of a job but omits the 1% that makes the difference.
when you are about to do a job, read it over, then post here for trick and tips- maybe a time saver or a workaround for a specialized tool.

I'm definitely a big fan of the MOCO manuals but also like to have the lesser manuals around to have other views and descriptions, But when the two conflict in any way, the Harley manual is the law.

Highly reccommend the official HD manual. Spend the $60 and take it straight to Kinko's (or simular printing place) before it gets dirty or dog-eared and have them put it in one of those binders with the plastic rings.(Sorry, cant load up a pic). Anyway, they cut off the binding and punch small rectangular slots and bind it. Now it will work great because now you can lay it flat without it trying to close up. JMHO. I think it only cost me $7, and this was for a 2010 Ultra Classic MOCO manual
