TANK EMBLEMS FOR 1965 HONDA DREAM

Post by HONDADREAMGIRL » Mon Jun 21, 2010 5:24 pm

I recently purchased a 1965 Honda Dream 305. The tank emblems were completely gone and rotted off. I have been told the tank emblems from the factory in 1965 read Honda 300. Someone else told me they should read Honda Dream 300. Does anyone know the answer to this question? Also are they suppose to be gold or silver wings? I have started a blog on Google trying to document the maintenance and restoration. Please register. I am inviting anyone with constructive criticism to visit my blog and leave comments. http://305dream.blogspot.com/

By 1965 the badge will show "HONDA 300" and all were Black and Bronze/sort of Gold but ultra violet light causes the color to change to Silver.

Ok Thanks. I think I got the right emblems. They are reproductions, but they sure make the bike look a whole lot better. Ah... I live in Florida. Check out the blog!

I take it you got those from Ray Byrne? Looks like you've really got the 305 bug!

Hi

Great blog and nice detail in the pics. Looks like you've been involved with bikes before.

Cooler here in UK, middle 60s F. Just having dinner in Plymouth, watching the sun go down, listening to some live music. Only thing missing is a bike, as I am away on business.

I am slowly building up two 1962 Dreams so will follow your excellent blog.

Cheers
