Question Crankcase decoding

Hey all, I'm new to the forum so i hope I'm posting this question in the correct location...& thx for having me.
I recently bought a rigid custom, built mainly with H-D parts.
The engine has S&S jugs and carb, so i called S&S to see what power plant I had.
Unfortunately, after reciting the crankcase numbers I learned it was not a complete S&S...I'm assuming it's a H-D case with an S&S upgrade.
With my web searching, I'm still not sure what I'm working with.
The number stamped on the case is: GE02S1291. Can someone please point me in the right direction...

Thank you much!
Jim

try calling Harley and run the numbers by them, they should be able to help you, unless this was built in a small shop.in that case you may not really know what you have until you tear it down. maybe have it dynoed to see what you have.

I'm assuming it is a stock bottom end someone molested. I know it has crazy power compared to my 08 crossbone.
