Default Eng serial look up.

Good Day. I've been reading your post and several other sites and having no luck tracking down what specific eng I have in my 2007 HD Electra Glide. I know its not the same motor that came with the bike and you all seem to be a plethora of information. Any help is much appreciated. Eng stamp is *FMM7634121*

Thanks very much.

Mike, Hi from the UK and welcome to HDF. That engine number IS original to your frame! As you can see, it is a sub-set of the full VIN. Go to the H-D website and the Owners tab, where you should be able to enter that VIN and get up details of your bike. It is also possible your engine is a factory rebuild, as they used to operate a scheme whereby a dealer could send off an old engine (which may be worn out or damaged) and supply a rebuilt replacement, with the original ID.

If you have the complete VIN, which is 17 characters long and stamped into the frame near the steering head, you can identify your bike on the H-D website right here:

Did you ever figure out your engine number? Mine is similar to this and I can’t seem to figure it out based on all of the guidelines on the web... mine is BKLJ018785.

Words like drag and Custom we're banded about when I bought the motor. I was told that it was a 1200 drag motor of some sort. Anybody?
