Where to buy OEM manuals?
« on: March 05, 2009, 08:34:57 PM »
Hey all, just picked up a 550 and am looking for the factory OEM service manual. This is my first bike, but I come from an auto background. I've been restoring my dad's 1949 Chevy Panel truck since '06, and older GM manuals are easy to come by. I can't find any OEM bike manuals anywhere??

It's a 1974 CB 550.

Thanks!

550 is an addendum to 500. Got it all on CD and will send for cost of airmail and packing + disc. PM me if you are interested
