Default Shop Manuals

I had a 2010 RGC and had already bought the shop manual and the electrical diagnostic manual. Well totally unexpected this past weekend I am not the owner of a 2011 RGU and am wondering if I can just keep and use the 2010 manuals or did Harley make some changes that would make the manuals not work?

Thanks

minor changes in the mechanics, but you'll find the differences at exactly the wrong time.

I'd suggest ordering the right factory manual and giving someone a deal on your old one.

the electrical manual you only need IF you know what you are doing, otherwise it could lead you in over your head

you can google 2011 model year technical forum and find the .pdf from the dealer introduction, it shows some of the areas of change, such as cam plate

I believe the HD LAN is only used on the 2011-12 Softails and 2012 Dynas.
