couple of considerations on this topic. if i think i understand your idea (a very good one) correctly.... have pics of parts from original bikes to compare/contrast w/ pics of later production parts that were not fitted on a bike on assembly line, were intended as retail replacement parts ?
1. we'd need to have pictures taken of many different parts AFTER we had the parts.
2. not many of us have that many parts, especially the replacement parts, we try to avoid using new production oem, unless an original part is so trashed it has to be replaced. (how would a replacement part be verified as a replacement part, unless it was new in box ?)
3. can have a few vins apart and see two different parts. or see one part on an earlier vin, then a different part on a little later and then the same part as used the earlier vin.
4. big job. that's why KP retired.
if you are talking differences in parts between vins, that's another idea we visited a few years ago. myself and KP put in quite a few pictures in the website with descriptions of parts that are still there for viewing/reading. another mammoth job. 2005, i asked for help, members to send it pictures of parts so i could continue the project. only KP came forward and he only had one sandcast at the time. no one else came forward and as i've always said in the past, the contents of the website are only as good as member participation.
Don, take pictures and send them to Wayne. when we migrate to the new website, he'll know what to do with them.
