Engine & Frame number

Post by jrpontiac » Fri Oct 14, 2005 9:09 pm

I just purchased a honda dream 305. The frame # is CA78 311757 the engine is ca77e 316625. Does anyone know what year this thing is. It is titled as a 63 off the engine which doesn't seem correct to me, maybe a problem. I suspect that if it was a matching numbers bike the numbers would match.

Hi,<br /> Here's a page you might want to check out , It's called Carbon dating old Hondas , Hope the link works .<br />Also I thing if there's 14 or less numbers between the Motor &amp; the Frame number it indicates it has the original motor.<br /> Any how check this link out / Peter <br /> http://vjmc.org/techtips/carbondating.htm

looks like a late 63 to me and I think the motor and frame are a factory match. This being a &quot;late&quot; run there will be a wider spread in the numbers.<br /><br />Just my opinion.

Hi Rob,<br /> That's interesting what you were saying about the numbers, My Dream has more digits in the numbers ? do they mean something to you ? CA78-1001910 CA77E-1001914 , I would be very interested to know.<br />These old Honda bikes are so good , I pulled mine down the other day &amp; I found very little wrong with it so far. Not bad for a Bike that's 40 years old !!!!! most of the work will just be cosmetic things / Peter

<br /><br />Your bike would have been built between '65 and '67.
