Honda's factory shop/service manuals are printed by Helm, Inc., a company that specializes in service publications for decades. I highly recommend them because the paper they use is oil resistant, rather than the cheaper copies from independent suppliers that are designed to absorb ink (and oil).
List price is $50, but with shipping, handling and tax, it's just under $100. They go in and out of stock, but they just notified me today they are available.
Call them at 800-782-4356, or

I see the manual is for CB1100/A and mine is NA, what's the difference between A and NA?

Posted by Cormanus on the other board:
Welcome to the forum, Myride. Nice bike. The “NA” designation is used by Honda to identify the RS model from 2017-2023. I’m pretty sure you’ve got yourself an RS.

I find your lack of RLETs disturbing

That shop manual title, CB1100/A refers to standard non-ABS, and the A model with ABS. I have the manual, and it covers all 3 years, including DX, EX, and NA (RS) models. American Honda originally intended to bring in the RS model for 2017, even to the point of stocking all parts for them, but for unknown reasons, didn't.

Were you able to order one? They are still showing out-of-stock on the website.
