Default Help Identifying Transmission

Hi new guy here. Not new to motorcyles but mostly British and Metrics.
Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes...


I picked up a custom softail springer as a project bike. The previous owner remounted the front fender because he didn't like it mounted higher up and crashed the bike when trying to stop and the fender hit the wheel. You can see in the picture that the springer is out of wack. I've got that pretty much under control.


I'm trying to identify what I have. The engine is an S&S EVO. Not sure what size but my guess is 88 CI. PO told me 90 CI but there is not such engine.


I'm trying to figure out what tranny is in the bike. I'm pretty sure it's a 5 speed but not sure of manufacture. I've provided a picture of the numbers I found on it. The numbers are backwards just like the picture.


Any ideas?

The bike was built in 2000 if that helps.

Thanks. The silver is real silver leaf. Whoever painted it did a quality job.

Evo softail style five or six speed. Although the width of it appears as a five speed

Thank you. Is there any way to tell if it's Harley or aftermarket?

I guess there's no way to tell who's tranny I have. I've looked all over the web for information on tranny identification and can't find anything. That's why I posted here hoping someone could help me. Does Harley put some sort of identification on them? How about others like Baker, TruTech, etc.? I thought that number meant something but I guess not.
