I don't know. I wasn't told that. Tonight I'll locate the vin number and see if they match the title. Thanks for the heads up and I'll let you know. I was told it's a 117 also. I'll try to decipher the vin as well. That should tell the tale.
Cool yea check the engine numbers. Also the 05 was called a Super Sidewinder Plus. Vs an 04 which was just a Super Sidewinder. You should see the + sign on the engine. The fins are shaped different too, you can tell in the sparkplug side, square fins are super sidewinder and more round are super+
There is some grey area....yep. looks like you might have an old stock bottom end and they put the 117 cylinders and heads on it.OK you BDM knowledgeable detectives! Here's what I've found. The title numbers match the neck and sticker numbers. The title says 2005 BDM Chopper with 1930cc motor which is about 117 ci. Sticker on down tube also says 9/04. The following are the pictures of all of the identification numbers I can find on the engine. Can someone decipher them? Thanks!
Thanks! I believe I read where there was some grey areas between the introduction of the 117 in late 2004 early 2005 models. Anyways, if you could decipher all of the markings it would help me understand the bike better. Thanks!
PS Ordered the Alex EHC replacement and new plugs. Should be here in a day or two and I'll reassemble and see how it goes. Thanks again!
Here's what I have. Looks like 104 crankcase and 117 top end. Could very well be original with 4.000 miles on the bike and a build date of 9/04. Any way to get the original build sheets from BDM with your vin #? Thanks!There is some grey area....yep. looks like you might have an old stock bottom end and they put the 117 cylinders and heads on it.
I dont know how to read the numbers...but for what it's worth the first letter E on the engine matches my 04 and my 07 has a G which makes sense it was bought in 06. take a pic of the bottom right side near the oil filter. This will tell you if it's crank or cam. Only one has to be working haha.
This is a pic of the Cam sensor plug on the left.

Haha well dang it you got the crank sensor and the cam sensor plugged in. Only one of them has to be working. You are going to have to figure out which one is working.Here's what I have.

Well surprise surprise! Maybe I have fuel injection too along with the Carb!!! Funny and thanks for the info! Now back to work for me sorting this out!
Nothing like having a back up system already installed. 
Just trace your coil wire back to either the Crane HI-4 or you big gray box? That will tell you witch is supplying the spark. Good Luck 
My bet it now goes to your HI-4
Does the bike currently run? I don't think I read if it didn't so I've been just assuming it is it did run?
Yes, but I only started it twice then the original EHC went up in smoke. Will be putting it back together tonight and tomorrow. I'll let you know the outcome.
Super! Great!
I disconnected the harnesses from the EHC this morning and wrung out the wiring to ground or shorts and visually inspected. Perfect. Connected back up and had continuity to ground through the EHC to the stater solenoid (green) wire, indicating short through circuit board. Also powered up and hitting start switch DC voltage test 3.5vdc for a millisecond then down to millivolts. Manual (slam) actuation of the starter works perfectly.
Cool...well that's good just wanted to make sure.
AHA!!!! Thank you Axel! The rear decompression valve does not work electrically and only works manually. I have a whole new assembly from Curtis here with the installation tool. I will change it out and check the wiring for a short to ground. Once I finish the installation I will test the bike again step by step and see if it works. I see on the original electrical schematic of the EHC that indeed the circuits are connected internally through the board. That is possible. I will let you know! Thanks!
Just FYI a quick test you can do is pull your spark plug and disconnect your compression releases and recheck voltage when you try and start. I believe there is a JST connector under the tank for the compression releases. This will at least isolate if it's a short where it is. Could be down the backbone for example. At least you will know with confidence what the issue is before replacing the compression release.
GOOD POINT!!!! I'm on it!!!! THANKS!!!
