Mort Wood had a "1929" DeLuxe.

My dad's bike (the one he rode) had 28 3 main cases and a KJ
upper. The rest was all KJ also. We believe he did this
himself along with a number of other modifications. He did
it up sometime in the mid 40's after playing with Harleys
and Indians. It is titled as a 28.

Deluxe bottom end perhaps? There were some '29 deluxes
possibly sold in '28

Marc,
Several things may have happened to your Henderson through
the
years, and hopefully you weren't around when these changes
occurred. The 1928 title year could be when it was
originally
sold...1928. Model years were not rigid. The bike may
have
been available early on. Secondly, the motor may have been
changed out later in it's life, the reason for the high
serial
number. It may have been a factory overhaul swap, or it may
have been changed out for a bad engine at a dealership.
You'll probably never know.

I recently inherited a Henderson with an original
(perhaps)title from 1943. The title contains some oddities:
First: is says its a 1928 Henderson (after pic research it
clearly is a 29-31) Second: the engine no.is sequential for
a
1929, however, the engine no. starts with d rater than kj or
kl.I'm just trying to figure out what exactly the motorcycle
gods have dropped into my hands!
thanks, Marc.
