The dealer only? Are there online sources with good prices?

Typically Mac, Matco, or SnapOn will have what you are looking for.
Prices can often be more than you'd like.

The dealer might not be a good source, e.g., my local dealer couldn't
supply an oil filter wrench. H and A carries some Honda tools. I
wouldn't expect SnapOn to carry tools with Honda part nos. on them.

heck no - you can get tweezers and sledgehammers at any local discount store

What do you need?

Usually Mac had what you need, but there are ways around by using Craftsman
and other suitable tools.

Thanks, all.

Not sure yet, just got the Honda and it's been in the body shop more
time than I've had posession of it! But I've been reading my Helm manual
(yes, I read manuals) and it occurred to me that some of the special
tools listed could be useful. I'll probably inquire here before going
for a special tool, though.

Could someone please provide the URL for Mac? I can't seem to find the
target.

Thanks,

Abe

That's good to know, Chip, thanks. My first projects will be to adjust
the p-brake and to replace the clutch master and slave cylinders, both
of which look pretty straightforward and appear not to require any
special tools.
