Motor looks like it might have sat outside in grandpa's junkpile.

But whose grandpa? What was his name? Where did he live?

Exactly..... questions...questions...questions.... but I guess if we had all the answers this would get pretty boring eh?

So true. The question to answer ratio is such that we will NEVER get bored! Plus they also LIED so much and threw us off the track!

Here's another notion about the fin count/sequence.

We know from the At the Creation book that Harley was having problems getting good cylinder castings in the 1907-08 period. They sent Frank Ollerman to Standard Foundry in Racine to "iron" out problems.

So, I wonder if the 17 to 14 fin switch was made to somehow aid in the casting process which had been giving trouble. That an early style cylinder was used a little later in sequence does not seem unusual.
