Check The Price On This Manual!
« on: October 14, 2007, 06:30:10 PM »

       
        I couldn't believe it! I have the same factory manual, as this one, except this one is said to be "soiled" (Mine isn't AND mine isn't for sale either). It's for the old 250-305 Honda SOHC Twins (CA/CB/CL72/77). I've seen them listed before but, not for this much.

Thats not too bad, you would be shocked if you see the prices for really early bike stuff..

 About 4  or 5 yrs ago I sold 2 CL 77/72 owners manuals, the little under the seat ones, I put BINs of about 32.00 on them and they sold quickly, they were near mint.

 Its sorta nice to have the real thing if you have the bike.

           Yeah, I know about the prices on the CB/CL72 &  CB/CL77 stuff and also the CB450K0 stuff. Not to mention the early CB750 parts! For example, I'd like to have an original front fender and there doesn't seem to be any way since even the ones that need work, go pretty steep (for me)! :-\ Another good example is a sidestand for a CB77, went for about $145 a few days ago. I didn't have one of those either until a buddy over on hondatwins.com had one that needs some work, gave it to me. 8) I'm just not used to seeing something like I have, go for a high price, ya know? ???

                                Later on, Bill :) ;)
