Default Se 135 engine

I'm confused...being that the 135 is a crate motor and does not come with original bike. How can I research engine history using engine serial number 21344610 ???? Vin number does not indicate this engine. I guess I'm asking because I feel this engine is not as new as I'm being told with this new purchase on 2024 road king. Any help will be appreciated.

Was this a "new" bike you purchased along with an engine upgrade, or used?

If new, are you saying you think you got a used engine, or are you talking about the date of manufacture for the engine?

Can't be that old- the 135 crate has only been available within the past 11 or 12 months. The installing dealer (whether kit or crate) should have the invoice for the install, which will give the manufacturing date.
