Dream frame# vs Engine#

[Pigeonalley]

I just bought what I think is a '65? 305 Dream. Due to a lot of dirt on bike I'm haveing a hard time reading all the #s The engine # is CA77E 1015344 There might be a sixth # it's hard to see until I get it cleaner. The frame # is CA78E 101__ I can't see any more without takeing the brake switch or the chain guard off. Has this engine been changed?

OK I found the answer for myself. Starting with '66 model the frames were CA 78.

Mike, Feel free to email me(email is on profile page) Also google &quot;Carbon dateing Honda 305s&quot; Great artical!<br /><br />My previous post was incorrect. I found a CA78 frame on a '61 Dream and a '63 Dream. <br /><br />Rob
