Looks like maybe 26/27 2859-B?

Those are 26/27 fender supports and depending on the style of Speedster you are building can be set flat for some funky headlight mounts.

'26/'27 model frame to fender mount, been butchered and bent. Earlier than '26 did not have such fenders or mounts. Depending upon the speedster you plan to build, you could straighten and repair them, or further alter and use them. or cut off even with the outside of the frame rail and treat it like an earlier frame.
