Looking for a little help identifying my engine
Could someone help me please? I'm trying very hard and have been trying for a long time to find out exactly what my Harley engine is. If someone could tell me I would greatly appreciate it and be most thankful. The only thing I know about it is that it came off of an Electra Glide. The numbers on the crank case are DJLR500373. Thanks in advance.

Welcome Matthew.
Hope you continue to enjoy your ride here with us on the HDFORUM.
Only as a suggestion, but very important, create a signature line similar to mine on your bike with year, model, and all the letters Harley assigned to the bike. It will appear at bottom of your post.
You can also add a favorite picture to the signature line.
Doing this will be helpful if you ask a question or to someone asking a question. All Harleys aren't the same with many changes and variations over the years.
You can also add a favorite picture for an Aviator postage stamp you see at the top left of your post.
Probably not going to get a lot of help on question here.
Copy and paste it here will result in more replies. Put some pictures there for sure.

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Take to an office supply store and have them put a spiral binder in place of the glued binder. That will let the manuals lay flat on your bench. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, a rough idea of your range per tank, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding, and upwards of 230+ on trips.
