Hi guys. A peculiarity with my Fat Bob, which I was aware of when I bought it back in August, but have only now got around to trying to verify.
So it's an American import.
From the VIN It's a 2011 model so it should be a 96" However it's on a UK '60' plate.
The air filter cover is a 103" Hardly definitive proof.
The UK V5 registration document states Model as a 103 cu in. The engine capacity states1690cc.
I assume DVLA would take these details from the NOVA document?
Question 1/ Is there anyway apart from whipping a head off to see if the capacity is actually 1690cc?
Question 2/ Does anyone know a way to decipher the engine numbers?
I should add I'm not really bothered, about it, it is whatever it is, but would be nice to know.
My own thoughts are the previous US owner bought a 103 filter cover and the importer just wrote down the details he THOUGHT were correct onto the NOVA form.
Thanks for your patience.
