Bonanza BC1400/BC1500 three seat straps welded to top frame?

#1
I am wondering what frame I actually have? My frame has three seat straps welded on the top of the frame…
It had the original 6“ kidney bean rims and double Indian tires. Original rear shocks with springs.
any help would be appreciated. D42CEF2B-B4BD-4639-A845-C0B1C6413820.jpeg

Those shocks are not original…bc1500 would be my guess….appears to have the Mx style front end…my have had a Hodaka at one time….may not have….no bang marks one the frame I can see….

Thank you Skipp, I had a BC1200 as a kid and remember only two straps on top.
BTW, I replaced the rear shocks. Here is a pic of the rear shocks that came with the bike.

Put those shocks back on..

or sell…

to me!
That was the plan, but one had a lower dent and was hard to compress…they worked but not great.
if you want I could send a picture of the shocks. This is a restomod so hence the clone motor. The motor that came with it was a 69 5hp Briggs. What are the shocks worth anyway?
