Need help identifying heads
2014 883 superlow. I bought the bike with SE 1200 conversion already on it.
The rear head gasket had failed. I popped the head off and it is stamped as 12C. The part number on the head is punched and only the last 4 digits are visible, which is 77-07.
My dealer is saying 16664-86D is the right head gasket for me. Is this true?
Also any insight on what my heads are will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
3" would be a 883
3 1/2" would be a 1200
16664-86D GASKET, cylinder head (2) XL883L, XL883N, XL883R
That would be the original 883 head gasket NOT what you need,
The SE 883-1200 conversion uses the 1200 head gasket.
16770-84F GASKET, cylinder head (2) XL1200C, XL1200CA, XL1200CB, XL1200CP, XL1200T, XL1200V, XL1200X

What you are seeing part number wise on the heads may be a casting number rather than a part number.
