Yes, it's a '65.........not a Cyclone though, it's a Caliente. 289, T-10 with a Hurst Comp/Plus.

Anyone know what the 'FRN' stamped on the bottom shell designates? It's stamped near the bearing cup and runs in the opposite direction of the serial number.

 

[bloo]

My guess is it is someone's initials. My 41(40?) frame, and others I have seen from the period had only the serial number.

My '38 has a "T" stamped into it.... haven't been able to figure it out. Different size than serial...

I tend to lean toward Intials as well ... I have this 46 BFG DX I believe due too A xxxxx SN ...,with persons name stamped as well

 

[Jive Turkey]

Yeah, I was thinking it may be someone's initials. I'll try to get a good photo of it tomorrow and post it anyway, can't hurt.

 

[Junkman Bob]

Ya a nice pic would be a plus for sure ...

FRN stands for :
Fu&@ing
Real
Nice bike

Lol

The serial numbers were stamped before the frame was painted. If that other stamping was done after paint it was stamped by a previous owner. Also, when a bike is registered and or licensed there may be a stamping from the local PD. I'm going with a 1940 DX.
