Why would you care? Just ride the biotch!

But if you really wanna know, it's in the very front of your owner's manual.

according to my owner's manual... you don't have a Harley engine.

BUT, I wouldn't necessarily believe this... I'd call the service department of your local dealer.

Your engine is pre 1981 that's about all I can help. Starting with 1981, all serial numbers were standardized to 17 digits.

Only on the frame number, engine will only have the base ID and sequential number.

Would have been good to point that out in your OP - a google search would tell you that it looks like you have an FXSTC engine.

I didn't have any luck with the search but where I'm at I barely have
an internet connection so searching takes awhile .
