Welcome to the forum.
If you plan on doing your own maintenance then you really need a Harley factory service manual.
Unless you got the receipts from the build there is no way to really tell what was done to it except to take it apart and see what is in there.
Just to be clear I don't recommend this unless it is broken.
Just ride and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!

Just lucked into a Factory Service manual, along with a Factory Parts Manual for a total of $28 shipped, from ebay. I'll be doing as much of the work as I can...I can't afford to pay Harley Davidson to do it!
It would be nice to know what I've got but I guess I'll just end up doing as you suggested and enjoy it!
I appreciate the feedback folks.

Welcome, the guys here in the Evo section are great, you will get all the answers you need. I can't answer your question, but I will second the service manual. I came from a few metrics and always downloaded the manual. HD has a stronghold on everything, and you probably won't find one, so just go buy it. It's worth it.
Two other pieces of advice. Don't post a dirty picture of your bike here, and don't mention seafoam.
Congrats on the HD!

That stuff is great, hang around here a few days, read the posts, you will see the advice I gave you is true. I didn't say don't use it, just don't mention it. It's a good group here, you will enjoy, actually they will make you enjoy your Evo even more.

The S&S website has instructions on how to locate numbers on the flywheels and ID it, you look thru the timing plug that is located on the left side of the engine at the base of the cylinders.
If you have a big bore kit, the cylinders will have Revolution Performance marked or a cast iron cylinder stamped Axtell, Sputhe made some big bore kits but don't see alot of them. S&S made a 88" for Indian but personally if someone sold a bike that was a 88" Evo they are full of poopy.
Here you go my friend!
