Title: VIN 1003245
Post by: d9canada on May 03, 2017, 05:31:01 pm
FYI

This bike is listed as being owned by James C Yannone and using later model motor #1068645.  I have purchased this bike from a fellow in Florida who purchased the bike from James.  I have a sandcast motor which I purchased from Steve Drane, the retired HD dealer and well known collector in Victoria BC. 

The unnumbered motor has had the chaincase repair, and the original motor number was not stamped onto the replacement part.  This motor came to me, mounted in what appears to be a 71 chassis that was somehow registered through BC MV using a BC reg number.  The original chassis VIN has been removed and though the bike is known to have been in Victoria for many years, it's history is sketchy.  Privacy laws prohibit us determining the full story of this bike.

It is my intention to make a modest restoration including installing the Sandcast motor into Chassis 1003245.
