New to a dream

Post by leeb1 » Wed Oct 22, 2008 8:05 pm

I am looking for help. My father just went to Afghanistan to work. Not in the military but as a contractor. He has two hondas one red and one black that he told me where "dreams". I can not find any numbers on the frames I have looked them over and over. The black bike has an emblem that says "Honda 300" on the tank and has a 1969 registration sticker on the rear fender. The red bike just says "Honda" on the tank.
I would like to get some manuals on these bikes and get them running for him while he is gone. If you can give me some place I can order a clymer or chiltons or another good manual I would appreciate it.

Thank you for your time,
Lee

You will need to find out exactly what you have there, it is a good bet that they are dreams. My chassis number is under the left hand side "Battery Box" running in a verticle manner down the section of the frame that supports the stand.

the first few numbers/letters will tell you what you have.

Alternatively you could post a few pictures of the bikes on the forum and I am sure you will get your answer pretty quickly.

Once you know your models this site has some great references in the repair log.

Can anyone tell me what year, and also what books I should start buying to try and get these running? Also I know they need batteries and probably the regular tune up so any help with oil or plugs would be helpful.

Thanks,
Lee
