Decode the SN on HD's service portal and it is an 06.. Wonder why it has a cam sensor..

Could it be like how when they make cars after the 6th month of that year it then has the features of the next years model? Like if my truck is a 2001 but it has a month date of 01/07 it’s technically a 2002?

FWIW I managed to scroll into a "Related Thread" and saw a cam sensor..

It's not for this bike..

The OP's bike is all 06.. Has the cold forged crank. Known to twist.. 99 to 2006 Touring and 99 to 2005 dyna motors will fit.. I'd avoid the 99s as they don't have a boss that blocks an oil passage for the cam plate.. 2000-2005 will have the better crank and the 2000-2002 will timken drive side bearings.. The heads on the 06 are better tho..

As I was saying

It looks like the flywheels shifted and got into the crank position sensor.

Keep an eye on Copart salvage bikes for a replacement motor.

I changed the rocker box breathers and she is still spewing oil out of the crank case breather bolts above the intake. I’m not talking a couple drops I’m talking spewing. But it takes it a minute to start doing so after a cold start. Any suggestions on what that could be?
