I recently purchased a 2007 FLHP, according to most material the motor should be a 103, the standard for that year. I think.


However the former registration says its an 883, does anyone know if this is possible?




The VIN gives an "M" code for the motor but different site provide different info.


Any help would be appreciated.

 

I know this is for a 2008 Police model but the "Engine Type=M" is a 103 CI. Also the only engine listed for the 2007 Police Touring Model is a 103.

Check with the guys over at Retired police bikes. http://www.retiredpolicebikes.com/ All they do is retired police bikes and they really know all about them.

 

There IS such a thing as a POLICE Sportster, though I've never seen one.

For 2015, and for prior years, it HAS BEEN an 883.

Go to the HD site under "Police".
