It must be a custom build, not a Harley. The last 1340 in the Harley was the 1999 Softail family.

I would suspect that your engine # is actually BKLJ022464. An R indicates a racing engine and there is no record of a racing engine with that number.

If it is actually a "K" in the #, it is a 1988 1340cc Evo out of a Softail Custom originally sold in Canada.

Your right. I just recheck the # and it's a K. Thank you! How did you find out?
