I have a chance to buy a red frame 67 305 Scrambler but it needs an engine. Would make a cool little project but am afraid that having to find an engine is too large of a hurdle to overcome. Anyone have any experience getting parts for these things?

Not too far from where I live there is a vintage motorcycle boneyard. I'd bet my bottom dollar they'd have a motor to fit that bike. Of course that doesn't help you because it's so far away but maybe there's something like it accessible to you.

You can buy a whole running 305 for less than 5k so don't bury a ton of money into it.

This guy may have a motor for you for 300 bucks.

Should be some really good answers for you here: http://www.honda305.com/

Thanks, had looked at the 305 site and have asked about an engine there. $250 for the frame and tin and pipes but the motor is enough different than the Dream and other 305s as to be a bit of a problem.

Also looking at a Honda Rebel 450 (i used to own one of these) and an Aprilia Mana 850 GT. All i really need is a very large barn and a winning lottery ticket and I could get most of the bikes I like!

My buddy uses his Honda Rebel as a grocery getter. He rides his Harley for enjoyment. Always liked the little rebels. Cool bikes.
