CA95/c92 need info

[clarenceada]

Traded an old truck for four Honda's last month and one of them was this White "dream" the lady called it. I picked it up after dark and didn't really look at it as I was more interested in the other black Dream she had. When I got it home it seemed lighter than the other bike when unloading; so I thought maybe it was CA95, but when I looked at the case no.s it said C92. I looked up the C92 here and the rest of the internet and found very little on it; most was for the C95. I finally found time to look at it a little closer and took some pictures: click on thumbnail.








The engine looks in worse shape than the rest of the bike so figured someone had put in a different engine but was surprised when the frame no.s came out to read: CA95-4005414 and the engine is C92E-3176323, so what I have is a CA95 parts bike in need of an engine and a C92 parts engine that needs a carburetor, stator, and left side case covers at the least. It does turn over easy but the screws are not in the right side case cover so who knows what kind of condition the inside of the engine is.

The good news is it has two good pipes, no rust at all and one ding on the left pipe, the headlight and speedometer look good (haven't tried either one) plus the tank side panels are ok with one ding. The rear wheel has surface rust but the front one looks like with a little polishing it will be ok as is. The frame needs a paint job, with the front fender being the worst; it has a crack in the front.

So,are there complete ca95 engines available, or are they rare and expensive? How about parts for the c92, may just have to use this engine.

I have read on the forum that the C92's and ca95 are not as collectible or popular as the Larger dreams. Up untill I was on this forum I had never heard of the "baby dreams" let alone seen one. Seems to be more in Australia then here. Were they ever imported here?

Thanks for any information.

Clarence, 2 years ago I worked on my best friends fathers 63 CA95. I had been sitting for 20+ years. When I got to checking serial #s, it turned out that it has a CB92 motor in it. I started checking into prices for a complete CA95 motor, and they were pretty reasonable, $150-200. We ended up leaving the CB92 motor in it, but if I ever find a CB92 roller, I'll talk him into swapping out the motor.
