Default Which manual to buy?
Hey All,

I am looking to buy a service manual for my 2001 King EFI and was wondering which one is recommended? Factory? Clymer? Haynes?

Thanks in advance,

CC

I've got the Clymer and the HD manul for mine. I find the HD manul to be much better.

Go with the factory manual. Check online for the best price (I got my 'Glide manual from Surdyke.com).

Factory first then one of the others for a backup if needed.

I picked the Clymer some time back but planning of getting the Factory as well.

Fletch, what makes it better?

No question, the MoCo manual AND the MoCo parts catalog. The parts catalog has excellent breakdown schematics that will compliment the MoCo service manual. You get what you pay for...
