Noob
NoobHello, I just got a Dream! I'll be fixing it up over the winter so be prepared for questions!!! Hopefully I can find most of the info without bothering anyone too much. I'll be posting some photos whenever I can snap them in the daylight. It's running right now but needs tires & a tank coating before it could likely be ridden regularly. Any tips for a newby with a rusty ol' 305 Dream?

Sorry, how's that? I guess I didn't see that option when I registered, thanks.
Anyhow, I tried to ride my Dream around the culdesac a couple times just now and noticed a problem... the shift lever is way too close to the foot peg. I can't even get my foot between it when I have my boots on and I have small feet! It looks like the easiest thing would be to move the foot peg back, but then it wouldn't line up with the right foot peg. What do you guys think? I'll have to get an up-close photo some time, but for now, here she is all nestled in the scooter-port, got some work ahead of me, but can't wait to get started! 
Congrats on your acquisition and welcome to The Forum. Please post an image of your shift pedal problem. The OEM pedal is a 'see-saw' type pedal, but not sure if that was all model-years. G'luck with the project! Welcome!
First thing you will need is some elbow grease. Mufflers are hard to come by unless you are willing to pay big bucks. Write down your vin # and keep it handy when looking for parts, as many changed in the middle of a production year.
