Thanks Kustom. Photography is another one of my hobbies. Did you get the email I sent you? I'm not far away in Michigan City. Do you have a prefered technique to remove rust and clean the cast aluminum parts. I've been using a super fine brass wool which works pretty well on some of the chrome. Also...

I found the oil capacity stamped, right where you fill it. Gee, that makes sense! I poured oil down both jugs and let it sit over night. I went to turn it over and she is nice and smooth.

I've heard stories of people using grease and then over time it gets gummy leading to a sticky clutch or w...

Hey guys,<br /><br />Newbie here. I just picked up my first Dream today. A 1965 305. I'm the third owner and the second owner started it only once about ten years ago. For the most part, it's been sitting since 1970. It's in pretty good shape with minimal dingage, no rips, motor seems ok, pipes are ...
