and what appears to be an old AMF Harley Davidson rear license plate mount with built in alarm system. I think those were on '80s bikes back in the day.

I was wondering what that thing is.

I'm not certain of much these days, but I am certain that bike is not an early B and that engine isn't either.

Note that the engine number has four digits, but the last one has been replaced by a star for security reasons. Does that change your mind?

@mercurycrest If the tank cover is leather, I wonder where it was made?

 

[mercurycrest]

Oops! Didn't see the * . Just knew it wasn't an early B.. Does Crow go good with mushroom sauce?

I gave the full engine number to @Simon Dinsdale and @Jonathan Lambley
