So the guy had a G motor trike, blew it up, and got a 46 motor from somewhere, put his numbers on, BADA-BING he’s riding!

That’s legal, right?

They have been doing it for years. Once saw a 1980 WideGlide with Sportster numbers. It's all good 'til it goes bad, eh?

In the 70s is was fairly common to see Big Twins & Sportsters with G numbers, or Hummer numbers. The Chicago-land area was notorious for bike theft.
