I'm not totally sure but you might not need to inspect a 20 y/o motorcycle anyway. Best to check with an inspection station or pop in the MVA and ask them.

This was before they had cc's.

Not true! Harley actually looked into using them back in '03. The other '03.
The problem was they kept leaking out.

One man's leak is another man's engineering solution. The early Harley engines were a masterpiece of gravity-feed lubrication simplicity. You filled the oil tank and the gas tank at the same time. The oil wended its way throughout the engine's vitals until dropped on the chain and finally to the ground.

Was it engineered to actually hit the chain? I did not know that. Makes sense.
Sure was. Some of it at least. My '47 should have the primary chain oiler only and that oil is trapped, in theory, by the primary chain housing and returned to the sump.
But on mine, the primary is a belt drive instead. So only my transmission leaks oil...for the most part...and most of that on to the drive chain.
