Default Wet or dry

Just read a oil article that made me question, does my 2006 Harley street bob have a wet clutch or dry clutch. I believe the previous owner said that he had used synthetic oil and thats what I had planned to use. Until I read this article that told me that synthetic oil is not good on a wet clutch.

So would I have a wet or dry clutch?


Thanks in advance.

Maybe on "old" bikes, but HD sells Syn3 for theirs...
