I have the same exact bike and I have to say that the overall best book is Clymers books, you can order them online just as fast and cheaper than oredering it at your local shop.
They have been very good for all my overall needs whenit comes to this particular bike, and have some very good still shots to guide you along, other than that the next best thing would be an actual Harley shop manual, but not only are they hard to get but if your not familiar with all the parts as described than it may not be as helpful as the Clymers book, simply because they are made for actual mechanics who have the experiance already( i say this not know how much experiance you actually have)As far as aftermarket parts, hey that depends, I have had great luck with various aftermarket catalogs that i keep a stock of, such as Custom Chrome, JP´s and for some more hard to find parts Foghollow, but i ahave also been able to find some parts on Ebay, the only thing is you have to know for sure what you are looking for and ask the proper questions to make sure before placing the orders otherwise your just disappointed when they show and dont fit.
Hope that helps. let me know how its going.
