Cross Index of Harley Davidson Part Numbers

Published by Harley Davidson August 10, 1951

Harley Davidson , over the years has had at least three versions of a parts numbering system, this publication made it helpful the first time a change was made. The publication was dated in August of 1951, but I am not sure when the actual change was made.

This copy I have had for nearly thirty years and it was produced by the 45 Restoration company who specialized in the 45 cubic inch Harley Davidson V-Twins.

Over the years permissions had been granted to individuals to reproduce these items and they were popular items at swap meets and magazine advertisements.

EasyRider magazine was selling a Panhead service manual to a younger crowd of chopper enthusiasts. Antique Cycle Supply had dozens of titles in a deal worked out with a Michigan Harley dealer. V Twin Mfg distributed many of these items.

Around 1992 Harley Davidson became interested in publishing older manuals and catalogs by enforcing some copyrighted materials. So in the case of this publication Harley has published it’s own “copy”.

Description: cross reference the old 6 digit part numbers the the new 7 digit listing used today.

Helps reference obsolete numbers in older parts books.

Which we once sold from our Cycle Manuals Inc. website until the Factory cracked down on local dealers giving discounts to the trade.

Some other copies exist in the form of scans or pdf’s . I found this one recently of the Cross Index of Harley Davidson Part Numbers.
