HD Manuals all the way. They're not really that expensive when thinking about how much they have saved me in time and mechanic costs. Get the service manual AND the electrical diagnostic manual. With both, there's not much you can't do on your own.

At least they aren't photo copies that have turned into smudges like some books present.

The fix for the service manual illustrations shortcomings is the Touring Models Parts Catalog for your specific model year. The parts schematics are awesome. The parts manual is #99456-XX with XX=model year.
