Dealer Setup Instruction book

[Steve Swan]

Thought perhaps some might enjoy seeing these.  i am very proud top own this piece of literature which came in the crate with the motorcycle.  there is an even earlier piece of Set-up literature that came out in the form of an actual service bulletin from Honda to dealers.

WOW !! Steve Exceptional documents....
I sincerely thought it was completely assembled in the wooden box with just the two mirrors to go up, very very surprising...

[Steve Swan]

some people "think" the CB750 was assembled in California.  imho, "think" = "bullshit."  i'm probably wrong........  won't be the first time.

i bought it off ebay, Australia, over 10 years ago.  i paid $500 for it.  i will scan the Service Bulletin for set-up and pre-delivery and post it. the loose leaf SB is completely different than the manual.

i will try scanning some of the various literature i have, a lot of it is oversize and won't fit a scanner.

here's the service bulletin.  i am "assuming" it is earlier than the 69.6 pre-delivery manual becasue the picture of the bike on the front is the early pre-production machine.  in this SB, the early production unit clearly has been removed from the wooden crate and is ready to be set up for delivery to the show room floor.  there is no print date on this piece of literature.

more.  red early prod.bike, picture taken from factory 2"x3" slide.

"Honda Herald" factory news letters.

this one fold out to 12x24, so i can't scan it

That picture clearly indicates that the bike picture/drawing used in the owners manual is the same as this with the production badges added. Even the carbs are the same

these 2 undated brochures also fold out to 12x24 inches.  the first is the infamous "indian girl" brochure.   the second brochure advertises the CB750 in 4 colors.

That red bike has had some serious disc seizure at some time
