Does anyone know where I can get a set of new con rods and bearings for a 1966 Honda 305 Dream

They come up on eBay but complete cranks also do from time to time.

David Silver in the UK has brand new Dream Cranks at £250.

Good luck

LM are your big end bearings single rollers or the same pairs as OEM? I have some brass cages in stock somewhere. I got a pile of them and a couple of crank webs from a dealer who was closing.

What I don't have are light cages with single rollers.

We also discovered that stock Honda rollers often have sharp ends which cut into the cages causing cage cracking. We used to take every roller and relieve the ends by chamfering the corners slightly.
