To make the long story short, my '65 pan has NO filter/screen in the right crankcase, like early pans. I always assumed that HD had dropped the filter in 65 and just hadn't paid close attention to other bikes 'till looking at the shovel engine the other day.
So, I check the 58-68 parts book, and as near as I can determine, they never made my engine
Looking at things like parts number and fitment years for the screen, screen cap, etc.
My cases have matching belly numbers, valid engine serial number, 65fl7744, all that stuff is copacetic. so what gives? Doesn't really matter all that much, just curious.
Thanks, DD
