Help with year of Dream

Post by tc882000 » Wed Dec 27, 2006 12:55 pm

I am starting restoration of a Honda Dream and am trying to determine the year. The engine has C77E-1003XXX stamped on it but I can't find a frame #. Did they hide it somewhere or did some years not have it? Seems like a great site for tips and advice, will for sure make lots of use of it.

tc, Welcome to our board! I'm a CB guy but Iv'e seen this question alot here. Look at the underside of the frame near the centerstand mount point,you might need a mirror. If I'm wrong on this you can also do some research on this board and you will find others with the same question and some answers. If you need to date the bike follow the link (From the main page) to the VJMC and you will find a piece called "carbon dating". Again, lots of info right here all you gotta do is look. Kustommusic

I also have the frame # now: C78-1003367. After research on this site I figure '65 for sure, maybe later. Any way to tell? Engine is C77E-1003414.

The wire harness at the rear of the tank should have a white tag with black letters/numbers that will give the year but I think ya have a 1965 there all right. ........lm
