  • "45EL1" on eBay ???

    Didn't Harley start all production motors with "1000" preceded by Year & Model? On eBay there's a set of blown out EL cases with VIN #45EL1. Looks like a portion of the VIN Boss is missing. How were experimental cases marked?

    All numbers would have started at 1000 or 1001. I could not tell if he photoshopped the number so we could not figure it out or not. I doubt that 1945 would have gotten into the 2000's. I think a guy should clarify this before bidding.

      Jerry, I agree on the clarification. After a 2nd look at the photos, looks like the vin was blurred out after the 1 on the case & CA ownership papers! I posted a question t the seller (Jane).

        The seller replied that she blurred out the VIN since she'd seen everyone else doing so.

          Even if the numbers are good... are those cases even repairable? Or is someone buying a pink slip and then looking for a stamp set?

          The right case looks beyond hope...

          Cheers,

            Hallo gentlemen,
            There is a ''busted'' left side case + Title for sale on Ebay currently.
            http://www.ebay.com/itm/261823135126...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

            VIN 47EL1055 and date code L-6 both look right.
            But belly number is 47-5895. Why such a difference?
            Any opinion - is this item legit?

            Wishing all great day.
            Eriks

              Sorry,
              the VIN actually is 47 E 1055. Gets even more confusing.
              As far as I know the E's were produced for two years 1936/1937 only!
              Where is this ''Frankenstein'' case from?
              Best regards

                The E's were made 1936 to 1947 in knuckle heads. They are a bit rare in the later years I think. Looks to me that the 47 case pn eBay you mentioned may have been in a fire.

                    Thanks Jerry for speedy reply,
                    Was looking to buy this one. But if it had been in fire, than better no-no. Welding will no hold well anyway.

                      For what it's worth...I have a 1945 EL with very low 2000's.
