Belly numbers (lower case numbers) are not going to match the VIN# but if original will match each other

FYI there are no 'frame numbers' on pre-70 bikes. They were titled by the engine number.

they will look similar to this...

Not very original, but very pretty!!!

You need to educate yourself on the VIN #, belly numbers and some of the frame casting #'s. This will determine how much of that bike is really 1967. Maybe the bones are all good and she just needs some re-direction. Pictures of all will get you real good answers form this site.

Messy flat side Shovels are $12k and up for sure, probably $15k looking as nice as that one. I would use the lack of HD parts against the owner to try and get her for cheaper. The numbers will tell the story.

I like the way this one is set up and it looks great to me! Would be a lot of fun to tinker with and putt around on. I want a pre 70 bike but was not ready to start the educated search. I saw this one and it has motivated me to get started learning. Appreciate the reply, Architect.

https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/...IDE-5018344442 - I dont think this is the one. I am going to move on from this motorcycle. The Canadian 1966 that hellonewman just linked looks pretty good!

The first things I looked for were the primary is correct and early 66 with the slot screw access, the tanks being 66 only, correct rear shocks, hubs aren't chrome and the bars / controls look correct. I contacted the seller and he says the engine mount bolts still have the castle nuts and cotter pins in place. The oil tank, exhaust, caps and paint job are incorrect but thats not a huge deal.
