28.5490-F: Sold 6/15/70 to B.F. Goodrich, Colorado Springs; Built 6/15/70: 1 of 13
Just FYI (or FYH (help):
• It was my recollection that the “L” designated lights (or street legal) on a model and that all models were listed as “JL” meaning J model with lights. But 6375-L and 6757-L are listed with only the L in our records; so, help me out here: Is 6757 actually stamped JL? And are both 6375 and 6757 7 hp?
• 64 were built with no serial #’s – only engine #’s
• Serial #3195-D is the bike I raced at Saddleback Park. Don’t know where it ended up.
• It looks like the first production models were built November 16, 1966, but there were several prototypes before that. The prototype that started it all used a Powell P-48 fork with a custom small frame that we used when we went camping for several years before they decided to produce them. I will try to find a photo of that bike. Production discontinued on December 21, 1972 with the last serial #7294-M. I’m working on getting a very close final number of bikes produced, but it will take a little longer deciphering the very earliest records. There were at least 7200 bikes produced.
• Color Formula: Except for the earliest bikes, we had an electronically charged paint system that actually would draw the paint around to the opposite side. I don’t remember the brand of the paint, and so far I have not run across any information in our records. As far as the colors used, I know the early ones were red, then there were also blue and green bikes, but I will have to do more research in our records to see if I can identify certain colors with specific models (if we even have that information).
• Model JL correct engine: other than a 7HP Tecumseh, I don’t know any engine or model number. I may be able to find some early engine warranties that would list that, but I haven’t found them yet. All the Powell Phantom models were 7HP as far as I know, and all used the same frame.
