Can anyone direct me to a site/thread that has pics, casing numbers, identifying feature information of old FL/EL frames? Or can we start one here?

I`d like to see some more info on this topic. One of my friends just bought an FLH-80. The paperwork says it`s `79 but the parts of the bike would indicate something like `79. The main question is about the passenger footrest mounting points.

 

Casting marks on my 49 pan frame (EL/Fl same frame)..I took a bunch of pics of all the casting numbers I could identify and put it on a sheet of paper that is shown below.



Probabbly the best source for information is Palmers guide as far a pre'64 models (both overhead and sidevalve).

Modern-era bike I cannot honestly say. I have Donny petersons book on shovels (1st of 2 volumes). I just looked through it and realized he has nothing on frames
