Default Please help need frame Identification

Ok here we go guys my name is Scott and I just picked up a 62 xlch that is torn apart in every nut and bolt possible. I need to know how to figure out what frame was original on this bike as I was given 2 of them and the research i have done does not show me the correct configuration for the ones that I have. so if any one can help me identify this I would love to have a correct pic of what I need. The pick from bike bandit is very close to what Ihave except that the 2 tubes in the rear for the seat do not go all the way up and through. so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Scott

C'mon guys I would have thought with all of the knowledge in this forum some one would have some kind of advice or an answer for me as I can not start the build on this bike until I know that the frame I have is correct. It all starts with the frame..

Thanks Scott

You need to find someone with a knowledge of Ironheads.

You can try this site a few threads down in the classic section, ironhead subsection.

Or go http://xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=7
