The horns are rare. I'm looking for one myself, so I don't want to suggest too high a price LOL. Most of them don't work, by the way.

Hope you get that 62, you know what to do with it if you dont want it.

One step closer... He's back in town, and I'm going to look at it on Friday morning. It might follow me home if the things you guys told me to check are OK. Will let you know.

Meanwhile, I found one of these. Is this the correct one? It appears to be riveted together - so you can't take it apart to repair - like you could with the old springer horns. This one reportedly beeps fine, so there's no need to take it apart.

Yes, damn you--that's it. Exactly what I need.

im starting to think these horns arent as rare as purported.

62 XLCH 2373 followed me home on Friday.

I checked all the items you guys suggested, and they all checked out fine. The final price was $3200, way more than I had planned. If, as I suspect, a change of fluids, points, plugs, condenser, and some gentle massaging result in a running bike, then it will be money well spent. If not, then I'll have yet another overpriced project.

The belly numbers matched - 761-3334 and 3334 (761 = July 1961?). Frame date code is H1 (August 1961?), and has the characteristics in Jerry Raino's document. No repairs to the cases. Headlight is correct. Speedo drive is there. It has a DC-12 carb. The front motor mount plates are non-magnetic, and there is a magnetic set in the boxes of stuff. Engine was apparently rebuilt shortly before it was parked - old rods, pistons, crankpin in the boxes.

There were some interesting items in the boxes of parts - maybe you can identify them...

clutch hub tool

this is a piston squaring plate.
used for checkin rod straightness by shops with no serious precision tools
it in the fsm


this could be a couple of things
a part or a tool.
need dims to identify it.

WTF - the larger part is 1-5/8 diameter, 1-29/32 long, while the smaller part is 1-11/32 diameter, 29/32 long. Solid steel. No features of any kind, and the shoulder is essentially square.

Often when you buy a bike, it comes with boxes of parts. Some parts are new, still in the original packages. Of course you keep them, even if you don't know exactly what they are. Others are used - some look OK, but you're not sure, so you keep them - some obviously bent or broken, but you can't throw them away. Some are obviously for cars, or tractors, or house parts, but there must be a reason they're in the box of motorcycle parts, so you keep them too. One or two things might be so bad that you do throw them away, but everything else goes back into the boxes. Twenty years later, you sell the bike, and the boxes of used, bent, broken, unknown parts get passed on to the new owner.

WTF may not be a motorcycle part, but there's no way I can throw it away - it must be something useful - but what?

No way you can miss at that price, even if the engine needs work. It's a good find.
