Deluxe bottom end perhaps? There were some '29 deluxes possibly sold in '28 ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Marc, Several things may have happened to your Henderson through the years, and hopefully you weren't around when these changes occurred. The 1928 title year could be when it was originally sold...1928. Model years were not rigid. The bike may have been available early on. Secondly, the motor may have been changed out later in it's life, the reason for the high serial number. It may have been a factory overhaul swap, or it may have been changed out for a bad engine at a dealership. You'll probably never know. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- I recently inherited a Henderson with an original (perhaps)title from 1943. The title contains some oddities: First: is says its a 1928 Henderson (after pic research it clearly is a 29-31) Second: the engine no.is sequential for a 1929, however, the engine no. starts with d rater than kj or kl.I'm just trying to figure out what exactly the motorcycle gods have dropped into my hands! thanks, Marc. |
