2000 DYNA Twin Cam Codes Help
Online I found a site for decode VIN. It has section for 1981 and newer. for engine codes for 2000 twin cams there is a V,W,Y.
on the V code states--V = Twin Cam 88 Carburetor, 130B. what is 130B mean??
on the Y code states- Y = Twin Cam 88 Counter Balanced - Carb. what is Counter Balanced?? I suppose "Carb" is carburetor,
Is the W for Fuel Injected 88?
thank you for your help.

Counterbalanced means the motor is counterbalanced. Basically has a spinning weight to calm vibration, and is hard mounted to the frame. As opposed to non-counterbalanced motors like dynas, FXR’ s and touring bikes that use rubber motor mounts.
As far as I know only softails use CB motors.
Carb could be a California bike? Not sure about that.

Mchad I didn't know about counter balanced. I thought they may be all the same and far as balancing. If I understand this right, DYNA engine is rubber mounted to frame and soft tail engines are counterbalanced and rigid mounted to frame. Is there a difference in vibration in the two motorcycles. I guess I would prefer a DYNA but soft tail is second choise for now.....

They both vibrate. Dyna’s tend to vibrate more at idle/lower RPM’s and smooth out at speed. I’ve never had a pre M8 (2018) Softail so I have no idea how the twin cam B motor feels. (Twin Cam “A” motors are rubber mounted Dyna/Touring, non-counterbalanced while Twin Cam “B“ are hard mounted counterbalanced Softail motors) You should ask over on the softail (not +2018) forum if you are curious.
