Default 2007 FLHP motor sizes

I recently purchased a 2007 FLHP, according to most material the motor should be a 103, the standard for that year. I think.


However the former registration says its an 883, does anyone know if this is possible?




The VIN gives an "M" code for the motor but different site provide different info.


Any help would be appreciated.

I know this is for a 2008 Police model but the "Engine Type=M" is a 103 CI. Also the only engine listed for the 2007 Police Touring Model is a 103.


VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (V.I.N.) 2.2
GENERAL
See Figure 2-1. The full 17-digit serial number, or Vehicle
Identification Number (V.I.N.), is stamped on the right side of
the frame backbone at the rear of the steering head (and under
the main harness conduit). A label bearing the V.I.N. code is
also affixed to the left side of the steering head. An abbreviated
V.I.N. is stamped between the front and rear cylinders on the
left side of the crankcase.
Sample V.I.N. as it appears on the steering head -
1HD1FHM137Y110000
Sample abbreviated V.I.N. as it appears on the crankcase -
FHM7110000
NOTE
Always give the complete V.I.N. when ordering parts or making
an inquiry about your motorcycle.

There IS such a thing as a POLICE Sportster, though I've never seen one.

For 2015, and for prior years, it HAS BEEN an 883.

Go to the HD site under "Police".
