the rear was rough ... but it is cleaning up for the most part. Chrome and wet basements dont mix well

the ends of these are rotten around the baffles ... i was able to save the baffles and plan cleaning these up as much as possible

these are the tank badges, plastic covered tin ones and they cleaned up very nicely. no damage or cracks.

The badges you show are metal ones painted with enamel and are the ones HONDA replaced the original resin ones that came on the bike. ................lm

i did notice these were completely different than my other completely plastic ones i have on my other dreams .... i didnt realize Honda reproduced these to replace the original ones. they look decent and are larger than the current reproductions i bought for my black dream project ...

HONDA produced the metal ones in 2 sizes.
Large for the 250/305 and smaller for the CA92/95 and to fit other small CC bikes in the 60's. ..............lm
