Well shit!! It seems that the cases I was going to use on my project had bogus numbers stamped in them. So, they ain't no fucking good. At least I didn't sell the other cases yet. I already know those cases are legit.
These cases arent a total loss. I am still going to use the internals, and salvage everything I can from them that the other cases don't have. Also, the other cases have a couple of broken bolt holes for the sprocket cover. So I will have my brother Ed, (retired nuclear reactor welder) repair the broken bits with the identical bit off these now TITS UP cases.
So hopefully, I will still have the bike set up the way I want. It just wont be a '69 XLCH. Damn the bad luck.
Don't ask me about the dude who sold me the cases. I ain't saying anything about him just now.
Besides, I still have the jugs, and other parts I can still sell like I was planning to. So I didn't get jail raped too bad. But next time I go scoping out parts, I am gonna have to take along someone who knows Ironheads like I used to know Nortons. Fuck me once, shame on you...fuck me twice, shame on me....There ain't gonna be a "twice" if I have anything to say about it.
I'll get this Frankenbike on the road yet.!!
Catch ya on the road sometime...
