[QUOTE="Denny653, post: 179446, member: 4601"] Hello, Carl, My Shadow does not have the original UFM. The rear frame is, I believe, correct to the engine. I never gave a thought to matching numbers when I bought my bike. Although it was a beauty when I bought it, it had a lot of issues. The big name restoration guys worked on it over the years including Texas and Canada. I have a huge folder of receipts. I finally got it finished with the help of a member of the Lake Erie Chapter of the Antique Motorcycle Club of America. I also had him install an electric start. It is now a happy motorcycle. Starts and runs great. And the matching numbers? When I am on the road people that know say, "Wow! A Black Shadow!". No one has EVER asked me about the numbers. [/QUOTE]
