[QUOTE="TouringGodet, post: 5367, member: 27"] I guess the question is, did the factory make a relatively clean transition on the frame numbers from Rxxxx to RCxxxx, or was there a transition period with quite a bit of overlap where bikes were continuing to be assembled with both Rxxxx and RCxxxx? If there was overlap, then what did the factory base the decision on when deciding whether to add the 'C' or not? If the existence of the 'C' in the frame number means it is a Series C, then the Riders Handbook I have, sixth edition of 1952, says that RC3296 was the first C twin, and RC/1/3568 was the first C single. I would not venture to guess what the corresponding engine numbers were, since there are variances in the offset rule. To address the original question, engines aren't B or C, frames are. You would need to know what frame number the engine was originally paired with. [/QUOTE]
