[QUOTE="kirrbby, post: 198522, member: 3972"] I don't want to clog up this fine thread too much with a(nother) debate about matching engine numbers...but I will say that the books are wrong. I'm surprised that Polson didn't point it out in HIS book. Ok...Polson DID mention it in his book...at least once. He's contradicting himself actually. [ATTACH alt="1641215882195918705784268389970.jpg"]73452[/ATTACH] I'm not too well versed in early Softail engine numbers, but I don't think they starting using 7digit engine numbers until maybe the K5s. Again...hardtail engines do NOT have manual cam chain adjusters. When it comes to purist "correctness" of these bikes, matching numbers..."correct" parts, etc. We, here at lilHonda, ARE the judges and juries. We ARE the audience, AND the harshest critics. We ARE the collectors and the enthusiasts, and the folks who try, very hard, to KNOW what's right and wrong. We are often, the BEST place to find information that is correct and up to date. Sometimes, the books are just wrong. The very best proof that I can offer... The books show CT70 HK1 engine numbers being 7 digits...but there are NO 7digit H engines...none. [/QUOTE]
