[QUOTE="davidd, post: 98320, member: 1177"] The "as from factory" standard is one that does not exist. There were too many variations in production. As Simon has pointed out many times, the changes to components did not happen with "Series" changes, they happened at any time during production. Did Series B bikes had steel hardware that was stamped with the part numbers? Did Series B's have long or short RFM's, straight or curved seat stays? Did their head castings have supports or not? Series B's had at least three types of timing covers. Which of these is correct? I think all of these issues could not be known by even an excellent AMCA judge and all of these items are like the medallion in that the judge has a small piece of knowledge about some item and applies it to everything. That said, I would not rain on your parade. If you enjoy this challenge, keep pecking away at it. I have done the same thing with racing and I have a few pieces of wood to prove it. David [/QUOTE]
