From the number that is one of the first 200 engines made. They were all recalled and a new engine with the same number replaced it. I'm wondering if this one is the first or second design. The difference is the cases and flywheels. The First design is smaller.

[Steve Slocombe]

Dear Chris, we can find out from the owner, but I think the engine number looks more like 11,000 than 1100, which would make it a regular later 1930 motor. The only surviving early motor with the small cases known so far is 30V1238 at Wheels Through Time museum. A few of the early recalled bikes with engine numbers under 3000, on replacement cases, are around. Some of the numbers look like they may have been stamped by the dealers rather the factory.

Is this a "V" or "VL" motor? Thread title says VL but engine serial appears to indicate V. In other words, shouldn't the engine serial be 30VLxxxx?
