Could anybody point me to a reliable source for the 305 Dream specs? A simple google search doesn't really turn up detailed info. I had the Bill Silver CDs years ago, and now cannot locate them. Or, what I'd like to know is the exact model of Keihin carb the bike had, and, what are the brake drum ...

Take a close look at the last photos and these -- I had the whole axle reversed! Also, take a look at ...
