Could anybody point me to a reliable source for the 305 Dream specs? A simple google search doesn't really turn up detailed info. I had the Bill Silver CDs years ago, and now cannot locate them. Or, what I'd like to know is the exact model of Keihin carb the bike had, and, what are the brake drum di...

Thanks everybody for the words. I have to keep the shop clean, as rolling around in a wheelchair I tend to pick up every little speck of grease.

Take a close look at the last photos and these -- I had the whole axle reversed! Also, take a look at t...

Easier said than done, right? A couple of photos of where we currently sit. Now, we're really close. Want to thank LM, Davomoto and e3steve -- you've all helped over the course of this one.
