well can you tell me if the service manuel talks about the break in of the pan heads . also will it walk you through the bikes parts, riding instructions?

Break-in as in a fresh motor? Ride it easy, varying engine rpm and speed for 500 miles or so. Change the oil at 500, 1000, then go to regular interval, which is probably 2000 miles. Doubt if it has riding instructions. What kind of riding instructions are you talking about?

Just caught on to the fact you were asking for an owner's manual, not service manual. Duh! on me. An owner's manual might be kinda scarce. Might try eBay, but if it's an original, it's gonna cost a buncha really shiny pennies.
