Hello Rick, I am in the process of buying a 1928/29 sloper, but myself and the seller are confused on the engine size. (350cc or a 500cc) it is a twin port engine. The engine number starts with a P78** and the frame # L4**. Can you tell from these numbers. We were told you can tell buy the size if the cylinder but we have nothing to compair it with.
Greatful for any info.
Regards.
Glenn.
P.S. Would you have a spare exhaust rocker for sale.

Glenn,

Your engine number would point to a 1928 493cc model, but I can't see any 'L' frame numbers. The corresponding frame to the above would appear to have also been a 'P' prefix.

Regards Peter C.

Many thanks
