From their site...
Why Buy Original OEM? Why Helm Publications?
-Helm only sells manuals written by the manufacturer (Original OEM), designed specifically for your vehicle.
-Original OEM Manuals are at least 100% more accurate and complete than any other service information available.
-Helm Service Manuals contain thousands of pages of diagnostic and repair information!
-These are the same manuals your dealer service center uses so you know you're getting the technical information needed to service and maintain your vehicle.
-Helm Manuals include information, diagrams and training.
Also, they have manuals for a variety of vehicle manufacturers including Honda Motorcycles....

is your copy loose-leaf? i went to order it and it says that they're copies, that they might be in a binder, and that shipping will be delayed. did that happen to you? how long did it take to get yours?

is Helms different than haynes or chiltons? 'caus I paid somethin like 20 bucks for each of those badboys. 62.00 for a manual seems expensive.

nevermind, I'm retarded. I just read the above post.

imagion 2 phone books with nothing but detail and illistrated pics of only your car and your year. This is why helms are so bad ***. The first mod anyone should even buy for their car is a helms man. and if you ask me 62 bux is a steal for whats in it.

Haynes and Chiltons don't tell you JACK compared to Helms!!!!! try to rebuild a tranny with a haynes, they don't even cover the 88-91, only the 84-87.... but they try to tell you that the 84-91 is all the same! WRONG!!!!!!!!

where do you find those? hopefully not at the honda dealership. they'll charge me an extra 5 buck just to leave the counter and search the backroom for one.

Yes chiltons and Haynes are worthless. Not worth the paper they are printed on. Helms is a great one.

It is hard to spend the 50-70 bucks without looking at it....but once you get it, you see it is worth it.

maaaaaaaaaaan, just wait till it arrives. it's like christmas, except with hondas and torque specs. $65 is nothing compared to what you'll get out of it.
