Thanks for the comments guys.
Good eye on the bike lock which is a neat piece that I picked up earlier in the year and had just been sitting in my parts cabinet...it was black so I slapped it on.
It is not a Wise and works by thrusting a spike in the spokes, not by pivot.
Made in USA, but I cannot get to it now and will answer and take a better pic in a few days when I get back into town.
As to year of this bike, I don't know exactly other than it is a later c model.
What year was the 9 hole rack used on c models?
My tank does not have a switch, horn is in the tank, and no fender conduit hole, so having a torpedo should help date it as well.
