Simple Excel worksheet with standardized service categories so I can easily track maintenance history by category. I can see the date/mileage of each oil change, valve adjustment, tire replacement, etc. I do this for all my vehicles, not just the CB. Accompanying the worksheet is a 3-ring binder containing the actual service records. Most folks just shove their receipts in the glove box. I don't get it.
My dealer diagnosed abnormal camshaft issues on my VW Passat at its 100k service. They told me the repairs would be covered by VW but only if I could prove the car received each of the required 5k oil changes over its life. Their mouth hit the floor when I pulled out the 3-ring binder and provided seven years of receipts.
