I dunno...1288 is getting there.

But there's got to be more.

Is it proven that K models were numbered sequentially ?

Cool, now I get it. Here is a picture of the Kings bike that I took at the HD Museum.

The King's KH lives! Awesome. Kicking that almost 5" stroke is where Elvis learned those hip moves... :lol: She's looking good, except the black cyls and stripe attempt, bit fat on the rear part...over 20 yrs ago I had people say the cylinders have to black when restoring a KH, Elvis's Bike has black cyl...no, they got mixed up, silver is factory.

They also polished the heads and cases like on a KHK. Here are a few more pics from HD Museum:
