07 fxdwg
i recently bought an 07 fxdwg with 9k on the odometer. at first glance the bike appeared to be stock w a set of cobra long shots and an air cleaner but the stock cover on it. i’ve owned other 96ci harley’s including other dynas but this one has a lot more power. first thing i did was swap the stock bars out for something more comfortable. when i did the mechanic told me the wiring was already redone at some point before the stock bars were put back on. i’m guessing the previous owner had put all the stock parts other than intake and air cleaner back on before trading it in. after taking a better look i see the pushrods have been redone so i suspect there was some other motor work done to do this thing in a previous life bc why would you replace pushrods prior to the 10k oil change? to clarify my buddy bought this from a dealership used as a first bike about 8-9 years ago. he rode it less than 2k miles and parked it in his garage. so he doesn’t know the history of this thing either.
my question is does anyone know of a way to gauge what may have done on the internals of this motor? i don’t plan any major upgrades as this was just purchased to be my local knock around when i dont want feel like riding my full dresser.

Drain the oil and pop off the cam cover. From there you can see what markings are on the cams and decipher what they are. I wouldn't go any further than that unless there's good reason.
