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

[Archie Sturmer]

I was going to link a recent thread about a HD tribute bicycle recently posted in late August.
We may remember that it was comprised of an Excelsior frame (blue); Davis heavy duty truss fork (Sears Chief?), and a Davis drop stand, and other nice parts & accessories.
It even came in a 25-year old box with great provenance (for the box?).
We might forget who the buyer and seller (both members) were.
The tribute was almost like a complement to a 2015/16 Davis frame w/ an Excelsior truss fork in post #50?
But the thread was deleted, we notice.

A member might have saved a picture(?).

A true turd for the record:

Some real parts, some not; faux paint job.

It must be the movie provenance that commands such a high price tag....

I know which one you are talking about and not sure why it would be deleted. Originally posted by @ZE52414 V/r Shawn
