I have recently purchased a 2007 custom softail with an aftermarket engine that I was told was bought second hand from an insurance wreck.
I am struggeling to find anything online that will help me identify the engine
There are two sets of numbers on the block that I have found see below.
The bike is not currently in my possession it is still in the workshop being completed I will get some more photos of the engine ASAP I appreciate your help.
Not sure! I'm also not sure when that dot-based style of engine number was introduced. So that's two clues for us, although I would expect the MoCo to get them straight, if it is a genuine Harley engine! It's worth waiting until J can post some more pics, to see if there are some more decisive clues for us to work with.
