Correct Badge?

Post by Maloymerc » Tue Mar 13, 2007 4:33 am

My 1965 Dream 305 came with this badge...is this correct?
And is there a way to restore it? Marlon

that's not the badge that came on your bike new , i believe it is the only replacement honda had available. i wouldn't bother restoring them and look for originals...the only ones that look right in my opinion. the originals are plastic

Thanks for the info 305.
Mine are metal ones so i guess these are replacements.
Hmmm...this is going to be a treasure hunt indeed!

What is your frame number?
It will determine which plastic badge you need to be actually correct. ..........lm

Hmm...the frame is out for repairs, but i'll check it out.
But it seems the bikes that were imported to our country have a different numbering system (maybe for asia)...is there a possibility that the badges are also different?

There are two styles used on the bike and if you plan on using the correct plastic badges and you will pay a lot for either I'd think you would want the correct issue.
