You might try running the Vin# and see what pops up. It won't be a sure thing but tells you what it started with.

Oh, I forgot welcome to the forum, I too am a new Harley owner. Also if you know the town/Harley shop you think did the work call and ask, I did and it was 2 states away.

I have a stock '07 UGC and it is a 96 CI. 96 was standard in '07.
Easy to buy a 103 clutch cover. Gives you "extra" inches without the engine work,
Possible it was converted to 103 but you'd have to be in contact with the previous owner(s).

you could just put it on a dyno, if it makes numbers that you think are higher than they should be, could be a 103

You would think that where ever or who ever you got it from would know and would have factored that into the selling price.

Dyno it and the proof will come out.

[QUOTE=misfitJason;12579855]What the heck is a displacement pump? Is that a really good shot to the face[/QUOits really not a pump but thats what they call it what it does is measures the amount of air a single cylinder puts out the you do a calculation and it will tell you the cubic inches.
