Can you put an XL top end on a K bottom end?
I received an email from a guy with questions about the authenticity of his VIN and belly numbers. He's got Sportster cylinders and heads on an unknown (all I've seen is photos of the numbers) bottom end. I answered his questions, but this brought up a question of my own:
Is it even possible to put an XL top end on a K bottom end? And what modifications would be required? I have no idea why anyone would want to do this, and I doubt that this is his situation, but enquiring minds want to know...

Way back in the 1970's, I had a policeman stop me for speeding, and he got down on his knees to look at the serial number of my bike (a 1960 Panhead), so he could compare it with the serial number on the registration (it matched). Did this ever happen to anyone else?
