Congrats on the FXDC. You're gonna love it. As for a service manual, buy the one from HD. It's the best. Welcome aboard and enjoy the site and the new scoot. Geez

Welcome from Bristol, England.

I cant speak from experience, but I've read that the official Harley manual is better than the alternatives.

Welcome aboard from New York. The Harley manual will probably be your best bet. You can get them with a discount from Zanotti's or Chicago online.
