Harley parts availability can be interesting- went in to northern chicago area dealer one time for valve guides on a UL I was rebuilding, asked for the guides and kid at counter tried fiche- couldn"t find the model, then tried a guide book and it showed the model as a Harley ended production to public 1949, use parts book number whatever.

Parts kid had his cycle stolen and couple months later I told him roughly where it was and who to talk to for recovery- did aggravate the skull and crossed piston crowd that was riding it a bit.
