If anything I would call it an '18. 1917 still had the transfer on the head tube. This actually looks pretty decent and a lot of effort went into getting most of the right parts. The problem to me is with the motorcycle related bikes is that unless it is original it may have started as any number of brands. The FM is a little more difficult to replicate but the Indians, and to some degree, the HDs require little more than a chain ring and head badge. V/r Shawn
