Hey all,
I just found and bought a group of bikes and thought I'd mention it over here. We're normally more into 70's stuff but these were too good to walk past.
3 CA77 305 Dreams, two blue and red and a black.
1 CA95 150 Benly
1 CL77 Scrambler.
The blue dreams turn over and we've had one running already, the black one is locked up. The red 150 turns over freely and is in really good shape.
The scrambler was lying on it's side and is far from complete. I didn't know what it was when I first looked at them and only figured out what it was by the dual leading shoe drum, which makes it a post 66.
Also with the bikes are...
2x goodyear white walls in 3.25 x 16 one still wrapped, both nice and soft still. Appear to be fronts.
2x exhausts wrapped, #'s 18300 272 000 and 14400 272 670 which seem to be pipes for the CA77's look like OEM ones, or maybe reproductions ?
1x headlight bezel, new in honda wrapper.
1x honda headlight, new in wrapper.
1x pair of honda foot peg rubbers, new in honda wrappers
1x big box full of all sorts of other spares, seems to be an extra gas tank, though it was for the scrambler but it's a blue dream tank, very solid, minor surface rust only. Lots of other stuff I haven't had a chance to go through yet.
Needless to say I am pretty happy about the find. Haven't quite figured out what to do with it all yet. My business partner and I might keep a dream each, I want to cafe racer the CL (if there is a enough tom work with) and the rest will be up for grabs.
If anyone really really needs any of the stuff listed for a resto or whatever, get in touch. I can take some pics if anyone cares.

Barn find, 3 305 Dreams, Benly 150, CL77 Scrambler
Sorry for being slow to get these uploaded.
I've got two of the Dreams and the Benly back with me and some of the parts. The Dream in these pictures runs ! Compression was great 125/150 before running and it fired right up with a carb clean and some basic attention. Sounds awesome (non-stock pipes). The tires on it even hold air fine.
Sadly the 150, which is in the best shape of them all, has next to no compression. It was found without a carb on it (later found in a box) and I suspect a little too much condensation got in the motor. It still feels good, just not enough. This bike is for sale as is if anyone wants it.

More to come later.

Uploaded some more pictures, this time the exhaust and tires, headlight and footpeg rubbers.
All this stuff seems to be NOS Honda parts. I though the exhausts may have been replicas because the chrome is honestly not very good quality, but there is a little Honda Genuine Parts sticker on one of them. Perhaps thats just how they were? There is a tiny little scratch on one of the exhausts, but otherwise they're brand new. These will probably go on ebay.
Anyone know what the parts listed as unidentified are ? I haven't had a chance to look up what the part numbers are.
The tires are Goodyear (eagles I think) labelled 'Made in Japan' and are 3.25 x 16 both identical and perfect. I will put there on Ebay unless someone makes us a solid offer.
I am also uploading a picture of the 2nd blue 305 dream.
