The thing that I enjoyed while doing the restorations was the hunt for the parts. If you can't find the right bushings you can get them made or keep watching Ebay is another good source. I'm sure there are members on here that will know where to get them. I've done at least six different Honda's since I did the Dream and it's all a distant memory to me now. It will be soon be time for me to go re-read my own thread :)
Here's a video of some of my bikes that I've done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRmhH9F3GjQ

Your photos of the red Dream 305 are beautiful. I just bought an old v-shaped crashbar for mine. It didn't come with extra plates to attach to the bike on the bottom. I need to have those made, but for the life of me, I cant figure out what part of the bike they attach to. How did you do yours? Is it attached to the bottom of the engine?
Thanks so much!
