@Spiritman

It seems some of these links are already broke, including my previous ones.

So I found what I could and published a free site.
It is not links, you can view print and download these documents right on this site.

Some of the manuals in the main post are not yet on it because they are copy protected, but I will find unsecured versions and update this site as I can.
There are even some wiring diagrams on the site.
If anyone knows where to find a manual that isn't at the link I've attached, PM me and I will add it.

I finally found the link below and thought I would share it. I have no connections to this company other than the fact that I have purchased two manuals from them. The manuals are of good quality and resonable price. I do not know if mine are actual Honda printed manuals since I have never seen the manuals the Honda tech use but they do NOT look like printed PDF scans.

Service Shop Repair Manual

If this does not belong here just delete it,,,

Since the google drive links above seem to be dead, I found a still working link for them elsewhere '97-'03 VT1100C (Spirit not saber, which should be good for up to '05 I think) and just posted the links to another thread in case anyone needs them: https://www.hondashadow.net/threads/s-spirit-vt1100-service-manual-anyone.91022/post-5492531
Not posting the links again as I don't remember how picky this forum is on cross-posting, but hope it helps someone looking.

Go to the tech section of the forum and there is a sticky thread there that has links to many manuals.

Go to the tech section, third sticky post, third post in the thread is a Phantom service manual. It only goes to 2013 but should work till you find one for a 2014.

I ordered this Clymer manual (Publisher: HAYNES) the day after I bought my used motorcycle,
and I think it's well worth the $40 I spent. h

However the best thing about this manual is the diagrams and "exploded view" pages that show every individual part and give it its correct name. That makes it easier to follow along with YouTube videos where you can't really see well over the mechanic's shoulder and with his hands in the way while he pulls on a certain part, but he names the part verbally for the benefit of the audience.
You have to know all the correct names of all the parts to understand exactly what he's doing!

I need a manual for the vt700c

Seems like there are three options for Honda Service Manuals: Honda, Clymer, and Haynes. From several comments I have seen on the forum the Haynes Manual is a no-go, so between the Honda and Clymer Manuals which is preferred?

This is for a 2006 Honda Shadow Spirit 1100:

Honda

Clymer

Haynes


Just found that Haynes offers the Clymer version as well:

I like the factory manuals best because I trust the specs to be correct.
The Clymer seems more user-friendly than Haynes.
But many aftermarket manuals have more hands-on pictures sometimes.

You can get a Haynes 1985-98 manual here so don't spend money on that one.
