Default Cylinder logo question
Trying to figure out if these jugs are OEM or aftermarket.
Anyone identify this logo?
The bike is an '88 Sportster

If they were an aftermarket brand logo they would be much more prominent. They are probably a foundry mark relating to the tooling used when first making the cylinder castings.
