Mine is an 06 Dyna with a 1HD1GM designation. It is supposed to be a superglide. I did'nt see a GM listed in your codes. What's up ?

Planning a Birthday Party?
Gonna invite all the neighborhood kids' bikes to your place?
Maybe have a clown to tell lame jokes and do some magic tricks?
Bend the bike over for a spanking with whacks for each year and one to grow on?

Then call BIKER-PARTIES-R-US! We specialize in...oh, never mind...
It's just April Fool's and I'm feeling a little loopy.
