The latest from my friend...
" It is a matching numbers bike. I hope to do one better than just send you pictures, I will let you take your own. As far as I can tell it is missing the horn, fender trim, front fender marker light, a rear cross bar that wraps around the front of the rear fender, and possibly a fancy rear bumper if it had one, it may have the wrong handle bars and the bags are incorrect for the year but the saddle bag mounting hardware seams to be intact. And it has a 1946 gas tank and it was painted a 2tone which is not correct for the year. Oh the exhaust has been changed. All the missing items I was told can be found the bags would be the toughest to find. As soon as I know its mine I will let you know. talk later..Ken"
