BK - FXSTC
L - 1340 EVO
X - 1999
That's the engine.

The assigned number on the neck is irrelevant to the hardware. Legal VIN numbers are frame numbers only in most, if not all states since the early '70s.

There you go. The engine number is part of the Bikes VIN number it came off of.
Both Engine numbers post look legit for HD engine numbers from the time frame. If you post pictures of the Number we most likely can tell if it is legit or a restamp. Things they did with style of letters and numbers most often give it away.
