Questions about engine
Ok i am a new Harley rider (v-twin noob) and i bought a 99 FXDX with some mods. The dealer couldnt tell me anything so maybe some of you can. I will post some pictures and see whats what.


located on bottom of heads no idea what the emblem is?


Whats this blue button?

blue buttons are compression releases and the stamp on the bottom of your CYLINDERS not your heads is most likely from the machinist who bored the cylinders. You may have something there............
Aside from the cowbell horn cover being tilted forward, it would seem to have high compression pistons installed. When you push down on the blue buttons, you should hear a click. You do this before you start the engine,each time, to make it easier on the starter motor.
I agree with the prior post about the machinist marks.

Wow guys thanks for the quick response. Now just need to figure out what size the previous owner took the Zippers cylinder and heads to.

The bike may have a 107" Zippers kit. They use compression releases in the 107".

If that's what you have, it's a real nice set up.
