Welcome! Nice to hear of another Dream coming to life. I too own a Black 305 Dream that is still original. Although... not very "pretty" it does run pretty well after carb and fuel shutoff repairs. My seat is black and I am not sure if I would like a red seat or not... but if it came "factory" that way, then I might leave it red. Choice is yours and just have FUN with it! I love riding mine.

Thanks for the warm welcome Jim. That's a good point about the seat color as I like to keep my bikes as original as I can,not sure if the red seat is original as have never seen a black benly with a red seat.my first restoration bike is a 63 150 baby dream,have put a lot of miles on it even on the highway,but hard t get much more than fifty out of it so am pretty excited about the new benly.the guy I bought it from bought it new and drove it to the coast and back with his wife on the back.thanks rob

The dealers were able to get seats of different colors from HONDA for the DREAM bikes.
Some but not all would put a seat of a different color on the bikes then sold them.
However HONDA didn't offer a RED seat for the CB72/77 bike but did offer Black and Blue and the CL72/77 bikes had black seats until 1967 the last ones had Silver welting. ................ .............lm
