Harley parts availability can be interesting- went in to northern chicago area dealer one time for valve guides on a UL I was rebuilding, asked for the guides and kid at counter tried fiche- couldn"t find the model, then tried a guide book and it showed the model as a Harley ended production to public 1949, use parts book number whatever.
