The cams are 1200 because of the W on them.
2007+ XL883's also came with "W" cams. Those are your stock cams.

Also, the motor is an 883. If you measure the bore, you'll see it's 3" in diameter. Stock head gaskets too.

Check Craigslist. I've seen a few 1200 motors for sale in the San Diego area. Most are complete, some were for projects that just never happened. Good luck.

Sorry to be the one to point this out. If you have no idea how to measure the bore of a cylinder, just maybe Harley engine repair is not something you should undertake. Good luck with the Learning Experience.
