HONDA started with the 250 then came the 305.
The following doesn't include the First DREAM of the 50's.
Naturally with the only difference being the pistons and head the rest was of the 250 design and manufacture.
The rotor will show C72 or C72(L) and I can't think of another part which shows 250. ?????????
Even the carbs are the same as I recall. "22MM"
There are several frame parts which changed as the bike evolved.
Like the previous member stated "be sure of the year of issue for any frame parts. ........lm

I own a 1963 305 Dream, while I was restoring it, I found lots of CA72 parts that were used in my bike. After talking to Bill Silver, he told me that Honda did that with the earlier Dreams. My bike has been all original with no tampering, and when we cracked the engine cases open, low and behold there were some 250 parts used inside of it. I wouldn't have known the difference except they were stamped CA72. So, with that being said, I think some of the parts are obviously interchangeable. Someone told me once that the only difference between the 305 and the 250's were the size of the pistons???? (increased horsepower). Is that true? Anyways, welcome and just like Kigsby stated, some of the the earlier Dreams parts, are different than later models. I found this out the hard way. So if you have the parts that came with the bike, that is fantastic! If not, try to find out the year of the parts that you are buying before purchasing. Good luck and enjoy your Dream.
