The thing that I enjoyed while doing the restorations was the hunt for the parts. If you can't find the right bushings you can get them made or keep watching Ebay is another good source. I'm sure there are members on here that will know where to get them. I've done at least six different Honda's since I did the Dream and it's all a distant memory to me now. It will be soon be time for me to go re-read my own thread :)

Here's a video of some of my bikes that I've done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRmhH9F3GjQ

Hi everyone. Hope you all are having a great summer. I know we are over here. I took all the bikes out today for a photo op and got plenty of pics with all the bikes together. Thanks to Terry & Karole at RetroBikes for getting the Dreams badges out to me. Great folks to deal with. Ride safe everyone!

v-shaped crashbar

Post by Kevmcp » Thu Oct 14, 2010 12:38 pm

Your photos of the red Dream 305 are beautiful. I just bought an old v-shaped crashbar for mine. It didn't come with extra plates to attach to the bike on the bottom. I need to have those made, but for the life of me, I cant figure out what part of the bike they attach to. How did you do yours? Is it attached to the bottom of the engine?

Thanks so much!

I thought it was attached to the bottom of the motor, thanks!
