Need Help with motor identification!!

Thanks for everyones help. I have just purchased my first "harley". It is a custom that looks just like a fat boy. Everything on it is harley except the frame. It is licenced as a custom. The question i have is i am not sure on the motor. I am not familiar enough with harley to tell buy looking at it what it is. It is suppose to be a 2ooo model year which i beleive would make it a TC88 but being a custom i am not sure on the motor. I found a Number on the left crank case it is as follows "BKLX919345" Is there a easy way to tell if it is a evo or a tc just by looking.
I got some pics. I think evo from what i can tell which isnt much. If so i guess the 2000 softail harley service manual is not going to be much help. lol

thanks for any info. Crank

The V2 emblem on the nosecone looks like an Evo and the petcock on the gas tank says carb vs. EFI. So, my vote is Evo.

Your Engine "Abbreviated VIN" BKLX919345 translates to
BK=FXSTC Model
L= 1340 Evolution
X= 1999 model year
919345= production number (serial number)
