You will not find a _legal_ manual (i.e. Honda, or with Honda's permission) for sale _new_ in the US that didn't come from Helm first. You might find legal, new manuals for less than Helm sells them for, but I've never seen them. So, the one that I recommended is the original one, also. Finding the best price for such things is left as an exercise for the interested shopper. ;-) -- Later. johajohn@indianahoosiers.edu Let 'indiana' be a 'noln', and 'hoosiers' be a 'solkk'. Leave only the 'noln' and .edu after the @ to reply .
