1941 R61 607001-607340
1941 R66 662001-662039

If you look in the "Bogus R71" folder here:
you will see some examples of what to look for.
There were also some Eastern European copies of plunger frames for sale in recent years.
I know that postwar plunger frames should have matching engine and frame numbers, but I am not certain about where they are stamped. As you might guess, I am not too interested in postwar bikes.
Best regards,
Bruce

I have a R66 title and even head badge but will have to go look to see if they match and if the title matches the engine or badge.
have acid on the right perch and if that doesn't work....... I'll see what can be lifted electronically
should a prewar bike be titled by the frame or engine?
my guess would be by the frame as long as it is supposed to have numbers.
also, are the stamped figures/font the same for the prewar bikes as they are for the postwar vintage bikes?
I know that HD changed number stamp sets more often than they cured well known under-engineered designs
Very curious has been many requests for say......... just an R68 or R67 type engine and without the frame
I can't imagine why anyone would want such unless they had access to the correct stamps

other locations to look besides the left rear upper shock perch...... for lack of knowing the proper nomenclature??
