    Dammed if a baby brother didn't arrive the other day. FB find I couldn't pass up, even with shipping from NJ it was a good deal. I am finishing up the Dream first, so it is going to be awhile. 1965 Honda CL77 (305 Scrambler), my favorite bike of all time.

    My Dream

    As winter has progressed the restoration has gone a little further than first projected. Since I am keeping this one for myself, I am enjoying the process even though there have been a few bumps in the road. Spare parts are a nightmare for the Dream line. There are no aftermarket suppliers...

    Sold / Found / Inactive - 1983 XS650 Bobber

    It is just sitting in the garage and not being ridden, worst thing that can happen to a bike. Mileage is an unknown, original speedo is replaced with an new aftermarket unit. The bike has great compression, does not smoke, and kicks over instantly with the kicker or electric starter. (New...

    Old Topic-Dragging Starter Fix

    Finished it up this morning, cranks like new. I ended up using the Mikes gear and spring, I did have to compress it the vise to make it fit in the saddle. Very happy with the results. The old gear didn't show a lot of wear but the spring tension was low. I did the vise trick on that also and...

    My Dream

    I am picking this up tomorrow if all goes as planned. 1964 CA77 Honda 305 Dream with an actual 12k on the clock. I can't explain why I needed one at this point in my life since I always thought they were somewhat ugly with their art deco design. In order to make it even more gaudy there is...

    Old Topic-Dragging Starter Fix

    Found this bulletin in my factory service manual about the starter drag fix. I found it interesting where they recommend placing the loop of the spring outside of the saddle, not in the actual indentation. I tested my Mikes spring on the new gear, at almost 8 pounds, so I should be fine, but...
