The production models were 1953 to 1956 with over 47000 bikes produced. VINs ran from 284001 to 331705. Your 32xxxx numbers probably indicated a 1956 model whereas the 30xxxx number is probably a 1954 or 1955.
Piston size 68.5 is 1st overbore...standard size was 68mm.
My Bing catalog doesn't show a 1/22/50 carb. Documents I have show that the early bikes had carbs 1/24/41 and then from October 1953 they had 1/24/42. Your carbs are 22mm opening...the stock carbs were 24mm. Contact Bing for more information - http://www.bingcarburetor.com/
