(1800 cc), air-cooled, fuel-injected engine, according to Harley-Davidson’s factory parts catalog. For owners, the key is to identify the exact motorcycle by its full 17-digit VIN: the FXDFSE has a dedicated parts catalog, and neither parts fitment nor recall status should be inferred from a standard FXDF Fat Bob listing.
What the 2009 FXDFSE designation means
Harley-Davidson’s 2009 FXDFSE parts catalog identifies model code PX as the FXDFSE Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) Dyna Fat Bob. The catalog’s VIN breakdown identifies engine type 8 as a 110 cu. in. (1800 cc), air-cooled, fuel-injected engine and model-year code 9 as 2009.
That designation matters when researching parts: the factory catalog is specifically for FXDFSE models. A listing for the regular FXDF Fat Bob does not, by itself, establish compatibility with the CVO model. Compare the exact model designation and VIN, then verify the part number.
How to identify the motorcycle for parts research
Harley-Davidson says each motorcycle has a unique 17-digit VIN and instructs owners to provide the full VIN when ordering parts or making an inquiry. For models other than V-Rod, the catalog describes the full VIN as stamped at the rear of the steering head and printed on a label on the right front downtube; an abbreviated VIN is stamped on the left crankcase.

Complete 4-step charging program (Initialization, Bulk Charge, Absorption Mode, Float Mode) allows for optimization of battery power, without overcharging or battery damage. Smarter than a trickle charger.
- Includes: 12V, 750mA battery charger and battery maintainer with 12-foot output cord, fused-ring terminal harness for hard-to-reach batteries and alligator clip accessory cables, 5-year warranty, and lifetime customer support
- Simple & Safe: Low maintenance, easy-to-use, universal battery charger is just 3.3 x 1.3 x 2.4 inches, 1 lb (charger only). Spark-proof circuitry ensures no-spark connections, and automatic reversed hook-up detection verifies correct connection
- Monitor Power Levels: Two-color charge status LED light indicates the state of the charge and if the battery voltage drops too far under load, adaptive charging will resume full charger output power. Automatic charge cycle functionality switches to float mode after fully charging the battery
Use the full VIN alongside the FXDFSE catalog’s part number when checking a replacement. This is especially important for CVO-specific painted parts and any parts marked as restricted-sale items. The catalog notes that CVO painted parts are covered in their respective catalogs and that certain limited-edition parts may be available only as direct replacements. Ask a Harley-Davidson dealer to confirm any restriction and current availability.
What the FXDFSE parts catalog can—and cannot—tell you
The factory catalog covers categories including engine oil filters and mounts, brakes, electrical components, controls, fuel-system parts, and common service parts. It is a parts-ordering reference, not a repair procedure or assembly guide. Harley-Davidson states: “THIS IS NOT AN ASSEMBLY MANUAL AND SHOULD NOT BE USED AS SUCH.” Use the listed illustrations, index numbers, and part numbers to identify components, but consult appropriate service information for repair work.

A catalog entry is not proof that a part is currently in stock or fits every motorcycle described as a Fat Bob. Confirm the part number against the full VIN and verify availability with the seller or dealer before ordering.
Finding the 2009 FXDFSE owner’s manual
Harley-Davidson’s Service Information Portal search results list a “2009 HARLEY-DAVIDSON® OWNER’S MANUAL: FXDFSE MODELS,” reference 99739-09_999082_en_US. That listing identifies the document to seek for operating guidance; it does not establish that a physical copy is currently for sale or in stock.

Check recalls by VIN before buying or riding
Use Harley-Davidson’s Safety Recall Information page to check the individual motorcycle’s VIN. The company says its recall database contains campaign information beginning in July 1999 and covers safety recall campaigns after that. Its page also directs users to NHTSA’s SaferCar site for recall and technical-service-bulletin information.
A model-year description cannot show whether a particular bike has an open recall or whether prior recall work was completed. For a used motorcycle, check the VIN and ask for documentation of completed campaigns. Also assess the bike’s service history and current mechanical condition separately; a catalog or recall lookup cannot establish either.
