What year is this bike?

I have a Honda Dream that I can't seem to find the year on.
The engine number is CAE 214410
The Frame is CA77 24596
I find that 214410 is out the the range of what everyone lists.

Hi

Numbers (starting with 2) suggest 1962, but as you say, the Honda parts list I have only lists up to Frame CA77-20851 and engine CA77E-210850 both numbers seem far too small when comparing them with the production numbers for 1961. I suspect a Honda typo - not uncommon...

So I am doing a complete restore and when I ripped out the wire harness, there was a tag on it saying 1962. So, I am going with that.

Wow- when you said "ripped the wiring harness out" the hair on the back of my neck stood straight out-those old plastic plugs are very brittle....Looks like you have a very good starting point for
a restoration....I love that old Studebaker....

Just Inherited A Dream Complete and running. Now I found the motor number, but simply Where is the frame number Located. Still Not sure what year this bike is. Has the Bags and windshield. Looks Real good for an old bile. I looked all over the neck near the engine mount and only found the tag. Made In Japan.
I am over 60 and maybe don't need this. But I enjoyed riding the bike and now want to get a title for it.

The number is stamped on the lower side of the frame behind the gear shift pedal and stop lamp switch near the stand pivot.
