Default What does this mean? DOHC

I have a friend that owns a Heritage tc88 . He tells me it is a DOHC V2, which I know better.
He directs me to bikez site and there is mention ofthe fuel control being DOHC.
Can someone enlighten me on whatthe acronymDOHC means.

Dual Overhead Cams.
It's not a V-Rod ...
It's a twin Cam 88.
Never seen a DOHC air cooled Harley.
Still looking for the answer to the question.
What is DOHC fuel management or cooling on a airhead engine?

He most certainly is correct. And, for your information, dual overhead cams has a helluva lot to do with how the fuel gets in!

Separate things.

DOHC is the configuration of the Valvetrain.

A TC88 uses OHV (Overhead Valve) with pushrods.

The fuel management system is either carburetor or fuel injection.
