You'll find the Honda Factory Service Manual for the DOHC 750s that are near and dear to our hearts. :-)

Clymer makes an excellent manual, as well.  Check the usual suspects for used copies, or new, if you prefer:  Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, RepairManual.com, and ebay.com, to name a few.  Prices vary, so it pays to shop around.

Clymer covers most things, in decent, step-by-step procedures.  They even cover overhauling the engine, and the transmission, which is much more than I would care to tackle.  Torque specifications are listed, wiring diagrams (schematics, with wire color codes), and a whole lot of other information you likely will never need.

I have Clymer manuals for two of my bikes.  For the third, my main touring ride, the only book published was the factory manuals...  They really blow compared to Clymer.  I wish there was something (anything!) else available, but there isn't.  Kawasaki factory manuals are written in less than user-friendly fashion -- don't know about Honda, though (Clymer has served me superbly, such that factory manuals have never been necessary -- YMMV).  Hopefully Honda writes better manuals than Kawasaki...  Cheers!

Have you ever had a look at the haynes manuals

[LukeM]

I have about 10 Haynes manuals for most of the cars that have drifted in and out of my driveway. I prefer them over most of the others. I guess it all depends on which brand you grew up with. Here, between the factory manual and the Haynes manual, I can figure out how to take it apart and put it back together.

My son has a Haynes manual for his bike.  I've used it a few times.  I found it to be much more verbose -- and much less user friendly, compared to the Clymer.  It seemed to have a lot more information (based on smaller print size, and the number of pages in the book), and it seemed more like the Kawasaki factory manual, written for a higher technical level audience.  I prefer Clymer, when available, as it seems to have better directions, and better photo's for the processes detailed.  YMMV.  Cheers!
