Default New here, 71 sportster question

How's it going guys, I just made a trade for a 71 sportster that looks nothing like a sportster. I ran the vin and it comes up as a 71 xlh. I have a question about the engine though, the guy said it was the 1000cc engine but from what I read the 71 is 883 only. With this thing being so customized I didn't know if it might have the 1000cc engine on it. I've looked the engine over and all I can see as for numbers are 16561-72A BF 0971
I'll post some pics of it soon.

Thanks for the help
Garrett
