Without an unmolested VIN stamp (impossible, unless built upon a Knuck case...yes it can be done), the title is just another piece o' paper.
Since no photos of the VIN or even a text listing is offered, it is worth less than the sum of its parts: Who needs the grief, unless parting out felonies is your trade.

I would like to see the belly numbers. The right case has the tappet strainer and I saved the left side photo to see if I could enhance it to see the numbers ,but too blurry when enhanced to tell , can't tell if the first numbers are a 46 or 48.
I used to worry about my 47 numbers, but since I was told they did indeed start the 48 model year with some 47 numbers( by a old harley dealer& racer of Pans & Nucks ) , I feel better ,but 46 is stretching it a bit.

Thanks for the answer. Sorry I didn't get back to ya sooner.I knew the Knuck and Pan's had some difference's.Cotten wrote:Pooka!
The Pan right case would have to be cut down at the cylinder decks considerably, something like 3/16" (I don't trust my memory.)
And the top case bolt won't line up.
It has been done. But It is doubtful that it is the circumstance with this machine.

Didn't realize they were that drastic.
Just guessing, I would say this is a re-stamp job.
