Hey Guys,
As much as I love working on my bike, (1966 Honda 305 Dream) I have to say that I am pretty hesitant to pull the motor apart as I do not know anything about them... anyone know someone that I can pay to have the whole thing redone? Im in Toronto, Canada by the way. Here are pics of my ride:

Im open to suggestions...
Cheers,
Sascha

Looking for someone to do a full restoration of a 305 motor
Sascha, that could be expensive, but more to the point, why do you feel that it needs to be rebuilt?
They are remarkably simple motors - compared to what I hear you ask! They are not hard to strip or rebuild and they need very few special tools.
If you are convinced that it needs to come apart and that you want someone to do it, there are several people on this board who could do it. Loud Mouse (Ed Moore) is probably the most experienced and has more inventory than the rest of us put together I suspect.
Ed's in TX I believe. I'm in Illinois, there are others around the country who could do it and there may be someone up closer to you that could assist.

Sascha, Paul in Newfoundland (4shorts) has a beautiful collection, the tools and the skill but may not have the time nor the inclination. You could PM him.....
Or Jeff (Eljeef) in Windsor and Wilf in Gibsons. Worth a try?
If you get someone else, other than yourself, to take on such a job it won't be cheap. I'm sure!

No, it's not Ed. I have seen his ads on Ebay, a bit pricey to me for what he's including in the rebuild.I'd recommend a good dose of patience, trying to find someone local that's familiar with these engines. If patience is not amongst your virtues, get a hold of LM, AKA Ed Moore through this website.
