I'm going through some of my older parts in storage and am wondering if anyone can narrow down the years. I've had these for at least 40 years and had forgotten about them, but they had been stored in a climate controlled environment, at least after I got them.
Based on the trim on the rear fender, I believe they came off a 1951-54 but don't know how to get any closer then that. Any one see anything else that may help narrow it down?
Rear stainless stripe is 51-54 as you indicate. Would be good to see the left side to see the area at the chain guard.
I did not know any mounted the tool box to the fender.
Lots of patina but look to be in very good shape.
I don't have my Palmer's with me at work and the 49' pages I do have show a leather saddle bag in the way of a good fender picture.
Thanks for the response. They are in fairly decent condition. There are many other parts, including an unmolested complete M74b that everything still moves on it. And a nice set of flywheels with the crank pin holding them together, I need to get some numbers off to properly identify them.
The tool box surprised me too as that's not how I remembered it either, but it was like that when I got them.
I'll have to go back to my building and get a picture of the left side and post it. May be a little while because I'm travelling, but I'll get one posted as soon as I can.
