10/26/61 Mfg Date. American Springer Heavy Duty Kick Back.

[Tom Roberts]

Need info on this bike. I don't see it in their catalog for that year.

What exactly are you looking for? From what I can tell the American model was last offered for 1958 and then possibly reintroduced in mid 1961.
By the way, the Serial Number date has absolutely nothing to do with a mfg date. That date is when the serial number was stamped on a metal bike component.

I have that exact bike...oops...scratch the kickback part.

...my inner conspiracy theorist figures it's just the date they want us to think they stamped it...
