That's pretty darn fast, so it must be the 1200.

You have to put it in 5th gear, remove your spark plugs, and
roll the bike until your front piston is at bottom dead center.
(BTC). Then you have to pour oil into the spark plug hole,
carefully noting how much oil you put in until it is filled.

Then you note how much you put in, multiply it by two,
and see if it comes to 883 or 1200.

Voila!

(Don't forget to convert from ounces to cubic centimeters
if you use Harley oil.)

Yer welcome.

My 1996 883 conversion to 1200 pegs at 120!

I just gotta remember to get a gauge capable of 150 mph.
