Official: A real Harley Davidson or a fake? That is the question...

Another eBay fake--this one is "restored"!

Davis sideways serial numbers and chain tensioner looks like a Davis-built lug-frame. https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/1918-harley-davidson-frame.208526/
Seat post cluster looks peculiar?
And the chain stays appear as oval-shaped at the bottom bracket crank hanger(?).

We may recall the era when Hawley Davidson was owned by AMF.

Re-listed and identified as a "homage" to HD bike.

Looks like an A&S frame, based on the style of rear fork ends with built-in stops (tabs) for the stand.

I own this bike now.

The fake HD above originally had horizontal mounting holes with a 1 9/16 spread. i suspect it was oval of some kind. Some of the paint appears to be original, faint hints of black pinstripe around the graphic appear. The chain ring does not fit the chain. It’s purely decorative. I will turn it into a guitar. I am looking to find out what it was so I can properly bring it back to life. i seen it mentioned that it may be an AS frame due to rear drop outs. I can get better pics tomorrow. Appreciate the input As this bike will no longer be passed off as an HD.

Looks like it could have been similar to a bike previously posted, but with different forks and crank set. https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/help-identifying.190720/page-2#post-1293772
