Eljeef wrote:Hey Mr. 4shorts. I am so glad I found your post. I also have a 65 C77 complete with winkers and type 3 handle-bar and I believe it is the identical bike to yours. I am, however, very daunted at the level you have raised the bar on the project. I am very excited about my own Dream and thanks to your in-depth documentation including photos I will have an easier time of it. Well Done! Regards, Jeff Hebert. P.S. I too am having trouble with the Ministry of Transportation in getting an ownership created. Seems like the C77 serial number is completely foreign to them and "every vehicle has a v.i.n., I don't care how old it is." I will find another member of the gov't to deal with. :)

Thanks Jeff for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed looking at my work and it's even nicer to know it might have helped you in some small way. I get a lot of emails regarding the Dream and it's nice to see there's still some interest in it. Appreciate your comments. you'll find this is one of the best site on the net hands down when looking for info on this kind of stuff and the members are always willing to help out where they can so if there's something you can't find or even understand this is the place to be. Enjoy your restoration and post some pictures as you go along. we all love these old bikes. ride safe, Paul

Hello everyone. A magazine just published a few of our bikes so I thought some of you might be interested in seeing it so here it is.

The article has a misprint. The Dream is a 1965 not a 1969.

Luggage Rack?

Post by Kevmcp » Thu Apr 15, 2010 11:04 am

What an interesting read and beautiful job you did on your bike. May I ask where you got the luggage rack? I am looking for one for my 66 ca77 and can't seem to find them anywhere. Thanks!

Thank you. I'm happy to see there's still some interest in this thread and that you enjoyed reading it. As for the rack. Well I actually found it on this site. One of the regular members on here had it and sold it to me. I then had it replated.

You should go over to the "Wanted" section of this site and post that your looking for one. You know there's more out there somewhere :) Thanks for your kind words and ride safe.

I followed your advice, and posted an ad, and if you don't mind, used your photos as reference....

thanks, now the hard part is finding or making the fender bushing that goes between the fender and the fork.
