Hey fellow bikers  , looking for an online source for old repair manuals. I've done a ton of searching but have come up with nothing. It doesn't help that the specific bike I'm looking for is no longer made. But I'm hoping that someone here has come across something that might help.

Bike in need is the American made Ultra Patriot. It's a 1998 model. It was my father's old bike and has been passed down to my son when my father when 3-wheels.

Any pointers would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.

Patriot motorcycles were sold by every Tom, Dick and Harry used car lot, RV lot, etc. back in the 90's.  I looked at one model at an auto dealership in Michigan back then and the wannabe salesmen used to take them home on the week-ends.   They all had dirty cases and a couple of 'em leaked where the cases split.  The warranty was better than any I ever heard of, including a lifetime warranty on the custom paint jobs.   One problem,  where ever they were sold didn't stand by anything.  Any repairs needed and the bike had to be shipped to god knows where.  They were damn cool bikes but there's no way I'd ever buy one back then. 

  Currently the Patriot motorcycle company markets their line of motorcycles under Steed brand but Steed doesn't mention any affiliation with the company. It's difficult to say what's up with all of that but the Patriot Company claims to be a "world wide" distributor" ATV's, dirt bikes, V-twins.  I'm pretty sure this is due to their original piss poor marketing, sales, and copy right infringements.  They were sued in Federal Court a number of years back.  As to how you can get a manual for the bike you are talking about, you might check this site out.   It would be cool if you'd upload a picture of the bike you're talking about. I'd love to see it.

Hope these links helps you.

Here's a link to Patriot Motor Corporation info though they don't really have a website.  I think they're crooks personally.  http://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2005/12/08/337191/90927/en/Patriot-Motorcycle-Corporation-Launches-New-Patriot-OffRoad-Brand-Name-for-ATV-s-and-Dirt-Bikes.html

Thanks Jimmyacorn. I'll check out the links and post back if I find anything usable. It is a cool looking ride. I'll upload a picture next chance I get. - t
