Got it. Thanks. But that 1010863 is a reeeeeealllly late VIN, isn't it? My '65 is VIN CA781004412 and the JB-2 fits it.

I have a titled 1966 frame 1014688 and a titled 1967 1032531 that uses the later battery. Don't confuse my use of early battery with the terms Early Dream Touring and Late Dream Touring which deal with design style changes mid-late 1963. That JB-2 battery was used into 1965.
