 frames 52-76 interchange. short frame was 52-66 all and 67-69ch. long were the other yrs/models.
 to change from one to the other you need: frame, swing arm (also long or short. its the swing arm that varies the wheel base), driver peg supports
 using the short frame with hump (long fame) motors will require some kind of solution of side stand contacting primary drain plug and boss.
-the pri drain is a hump motor thing. to intergrate its addition to the cases the footpeg mounting points and kickstand tab were moved forward on the long. frame. hence the different driver peg supports to bring pegs back into position.

+Where the solo seat would go is a cast member that the tubes of the frame connect to.
+I went out to the shop to look at my 1971 frame in the same location as you showed in your picture.
+Mine is cast as 47650-67.
+So my 1971 carries this piece as a 1967 design, same as yours, but mine has a slightly different part nimber in that it is 47650 rather than 47658 as yours is.
+This difference I cannot explain.
+Frames 1970 through 1972 are the exact same.
+In my 1959-1969 service manual the frames for those years are given the exact same dimensions as the 1970-72. The 1973 is quite different in design and dimensions are different too. \\

+Neck numbers are not representative.
+On pre 70 Sportsters, the year the frame was stamped for use was under the seat right casting, these frames may have sat in a factory rack a year prior.. this is the lug that would be used for the Large Gas Tank.. did you look?? \\

+If you have a seat boss (circled in red)should be a letter and number Letter = Month & Number = Year. The Suffix numbers XXXX-52 is the year the casting was made. Also what type of upper motor mount do you have, Cast or Pressed Steel?
+Your frame looks to be a post 72 from the area circled in red, there should be some numbers on the neck circled in green!!!
+The last picture I posted would be along the line of how the frame would look if it was a pre 72. \\

+My take is that it is a 67-69 XLH frame due to the lack of neck VINS and the -67 casting numbers. 4
+CH frames would not have the dogged legs to accommodate the big electric start batt, etc. 4
+Also know as the start of the long frame Sportsters. \\
+and later.........… \\

+In 1973 the frame was changed and the steel casting was eliminated and replaced with steel straps which covered the two frame tubes having the open holes. (these two holes held the supports for the original solo seat.)
+See the flat metal 'shelf' on the right side of the casting piece? This should have 2 holes drilled in it.
+The 'shelf' was used to mount the start/light switch on some models.
+In 1971 many switches were located there, but my 1971 has the switch mounted above the horn on the left side.
+This is how it came from the factory and has the different wiring harness to back that up.
+H-D mixed and matched with this feature it seems. \\
