Dream frame# vs Engine#
I just bought what I think is a '65? 305 Dream. Due to a lot of dirt on bike I'm haveing a hard time reading all the #s The engine # is CA77E 1015344 There might be a sixth # it's hard to see until I get it cleaner. The frame # is CA78E 101__ I can't see any more without takeing the brake switch or the chain guard off. Has this engine been changed?

OK I found the answer for myself. Starting with '66 model the frames were CA 78.

Mike, Feel free to email me(email is on profile page) Also google "Carbon dateing Honda 305s" Great artical!<br /><br />My previous post was incorrect. I found a CA78 frame on a '61 Dream and a '63 Dream. <br /><br />Rob
