I will say again that I remain TOTALLY convinced that ALL Dream sticky twist throttle issues are aggravated by an inherent design problem - that is, the adjuster being located mid-cable. When adjusted out, the two separate OUTER sheathes have a (1/2" to 1") gap at the adjuster. This allows that unsu...

Hoosier Tom, Thanks for the info. BTW, I am convinced many Dream sticky twist throttle issues are aggravated by an inherent design problem - that is, the adjuster being located mid-cable. When properly adjusted out, the two separate OUTER sheathes have a (1/2" to 1") gap at the adjuster. This allows...

The early Dreams used the throttle housing and throttle pipe like the CB77, then went to the internal spiral throttle design. You will need the early cable if using the throttle housing/pipe of a CB77 or early Dream. Part number is 17910-262-000. There are currently a few on eBay. If you use short ...

Here's an early one on ebay, even though Mr. Monkey Claw says its a late one. The overhang that holds the battery is just a little longer than the early one. I attached a picture of a battery that appears on ebay quite often and would be correct for your setup; here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/...

Thanks for the photos, they help. If someone has a photo of the early style tool box tray, I would appreciate seeing that one for comparison to the later style. The toolbox tray I have gotten sure looks like the later style, although I was assured it was the early style. I definitely have the early ...

Photo of battery box layout

I have a 1964 250 Dream and was wondering if anyone has a clear photo(s) of a correct battery box/toolbox layout and wiring setup? Not a wiring diagram or exploded parts view, which I have, but something I can use to clean up the mess underneath the left side cover. I ask, since I recently acquired ...

There is a well written topic on speedometer repair on this very Dream forum. Too bad you didn't read it first. As you have mentioned yourself, replacement speedometers are very expensive and not too easy to find. Sometimes it is better to find a qualified professional, rather than risk damaging an ...
