Buying question for ca77

Bogamire · Post by **Bogamire** » Fri Jan 24, 2014 2:39 pm

I'm mostly familiar with the smaller twins like the 160's and 175 but I was told about a 65 305 dream, late model, for sale locally for cheap $.
I was told that it was taken apart a few years ago for a resto so now it lives in boxes.
So my question is, besides the usual stuff to look for, what are the impossible to find/super expensive parts that I should be inspecting or hoping are included when I take a look this weekend?

Speedometer, Exhaust, rims, carb covers are all spendy. Is the engine seized / water damaged? New pistons, crank rebuilds and gearbox spares can be expensive unless you can find good used parts.

Thanks G-Man. I'll keep you posted as to the condition later today.

Lower chain cover, 0.9 pitch fasteners, seat chrome trim, and the headlight bulb.

correct aluminum clutch friction discs, too.
