Any big differences between '05 and '06 touring engines?

I plan to start doing my own maintenance and while not a stranger to the wrenches, I don't know much about the details of an HD engine.There arealways a bunch of Clymer service manuals for sale on ebay and I'm thinking of getting one but my bike is '06 and the service manual for sale online is for '99-'05. $23 CDN is a lot better than $100 CDN which is what the dealer wants for an '06 service manual. Are there any big differences between the '05 and '06 engines?

Here's a link to one below:

Thanks.

06's have differnt heads, throttle-body, injectors, and ECM.

I'd suggest getting a HD service manual for your exact bike.

There are some different things from 05-06, its best to get a factory manual over those clymers but whichever get it for the year you have.

I have an 04 Electra Glide Classic, and I got the Clymer for it. I wish I would have gotten the Harley manual because the Clymer can be vague and confusing sometimes.
