Confusion about what model I have

Post by Seffery » Fri Oct 31, 2025 11:24 am

Just as the topic above says. I've noticed on all the pictures of 1964 dream 305s (what this bike claims to be) that they have almost little bowl over the area above the spark plug on the right hand side. Mine does not. I also have my points on the opossite side of where several youtube videos say they should be. I've included a photo of the area in question.

Thank you,
Seffery

Here are more photos. My apologies for missing something so simple.

Thanks,

It is really hard for me to tell from the photos provided, but it does not look like a C77 or CA77 that I'm familiar with. Some giveaways are:

Ignition points should be just on the end of the cam just above the RHS spark plug (as you pointed out)

Oil filler plug location

Battery location

The term "Dream" was used loosely to cover several different early Honda models. Although I'm not familiar with the model, you may have a Honda Benly.
Thanks.

Regards

It totally is a benly after looking online at other benlys. Its a bit of a letdown. I was hoping for the larger 305 engine. I thought it was a dream.
