Greetings again guys, I am looking for a clymer or haymes repair manual for my 2009 goldwing. I see that they only go up to 2005. Will i be ok with that manual? I am trying to run a power wire for my Sirius from the left handle bar to the accessory outlet in the power box and need to find a route to it. Thanks a bunch

I went the extra mile and got a Honda factory manual; I don't have any experience with the off brand ones,but, judging by many posts here and elsewhere those manuals have many mistakes and misinformation....so you be the judge; I guess all I can say is: You get what you pay for. With arguably the BEST ride on the planet, why go cheap on the right material?. Just a thought....IMHO..... :~)

... Howdy ... B-runner Has Said It All ... I Too Have Had Bad Experience With Clymers And Other Manuals ... They Will Cost You In The Long Run ... The Older Honda Mans. Are Around $55. And Not Sure What The Newer Ones Cost But You'll Be Money Ahead With The Honda Manual ... Happy Trails ...

I just got my 2007 Wing. So excited to be able to put some miles on it. The weather's finally getting warmer. What should the first thing I do be? I've had great luck with Clymer manuals over the years. I've owned them for all of my bikes. I was surprised to see they have one for the late models and there is airbag info in them. I wouldn't touch that airbag with a ten foot pole held by a guy in body armor (I wouldn't mess with the one in my car either...go ahead...call me chicken), but it's cool its in there.

Off beat manuals are better than no manual, but they're kind of a poor substitute for the Honda one.

Having responded to your question, I to would seek the OEM service manual. It however is not without some useless info and misleading instructions!
For example, it instructs one to remove the lower cowl to do an oil/filter change which is absolutely not required and a total waste of time!

2nd part of your question
I would remove the lower cover from the handle bar and remove the "dash" and shelter.
Then follow the route taken by existing wiring, securing it w/nylon ties along the way.
