I don't have a Silvers Guide at present and was wanting to verify the year and know if the engine is correct for the frame.
Is there a serial# /year list on the net somewhere that I'm not aware of? Thanks.
Frame # is CL 72 20032
Engine # is CL 72E 210025

That's a '62 bike and the numbers look close enough. First digit equals year of manufacture up to '64

Does that mean it is the 32nd one made in 62??

Yes, should be.

No rarer than 31 or 33 though.... :-)

How about you offer some pics of the skid plate, carb air intake tubes, speedo face, rider foot pegs and coils. ...................lm

The bike is missing the headlight/speedo, skid plate and foot peg assembly, chain guard, front fender. The rear has been cut off near the frame loop, and probably more. The air tubes are there. Are the early one different? Should the foot pegs be steel folding, any difference from later steel models? Is the only difference in the headlight the lack of a neutral light and the speedometer should say Honda Motors? The coils are mounted, one in front of the back of the frame brace tube and one behind it. I think I read somewhere that the skip plate on the early bikes didn't have a recessed area around the mounting bolts, any other differences? Any other early differences you care to pass along will be greatly appreciated. It will be a few days before I can send pictures.

And carbs themselves, should be round bowl type.
