Jim, visit the H-D website and the Owners tab, where you can enter your VIN and get it's original build spec. Why do you want to know what the engine is - do you actually own the bike? If so your owners manual will tell ya! You can also check the model details already given above by checking an on-line parts website. That model is also probably still shown on the H-D wesbsite.

I also need to know how to get more information about engine numbers, mostly in case of registering the turd I just bought.

It has engine numbers, is from a 2005 Softail, and is in an Ultima frame. I don't believe I can get a title or register it without paperwork from the engine. Its certainly not worth swapping out engine case for an aftermarket one.
Number on R side of engine is 0470016146

Any help would be appreciated.

The abbreviated VIN (engine number) is stamped on the left side of the engine. What are those characters?
