Great photo! Look at the shape of the top. Must be a very early '14. Looks like a '13 top?

If it is a cut off touring they put a “correct” runabout top on it :D can’t see the side well enough to tell for sure.

Very early '14? I thought the bills on the front fender came after the last half of '14s?? Just wondering.

Nice photo Herb!
