Could be a fake top end. Engine looks new !

How can you tell it's a 5-speed, 754?

754 · « **Reply #5 on:** January 13, 2008, 03:22:22 PM »

Shape of the cover, clutch cable exit, top of trans, lack of kicker (PUSSY!).

Looks like shovel bottom end with alternator.. heads look real..exhaust is slip in..no studs..

I'm impressed... I have never had the ability to reliably identify Harley engines. Let alone Harley gearboxes

Not a bad lookin bike. I'd rather own a panhead though. I just like those things for whatever reason.

That's cos you ride a "Yama-Harley", Dirty Dan!

i call em clones,aftermarket knuckle engines are being built nowadays,but they aint real knucks.

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #10 on:** January 15, 2008, 05:16:10 PM »

I'm thinking about getting some Harley "Clone" engines built in China. They don't give a fat rats arse about patents and legal stuff like that so they can copy them exactly, and they build 'em cheap.

That way I can build some sweet chops here in Oz and sell 'em for a motza worldwide to unsuspecting, "well heeled" accountants and doctors who wouldn't know a conrod from a crowbar! I'll be rich, I tells ya, riiiiich!

hmmmm, not a half bad idea..... can I join in? US rep? LMAO

Why not Bob? With what little money we're gonna be paying the Chinese, the "profit margin" will be wider than Michael Moore's arse!

Gregorymoto · « **Reply #13 on:** January 16, 2008, 06:07:33 AM »

Ya you can tell they are fake, they run better and dont leak oil.

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #14 on:** January 16, 2008, 12:28:31 PM »

Hey Greg, how about a bigger pic of your bike, that looks sweet! (I might get my Chinese friends to clone a few of them too...........)

Gregorymoto · « **Reply #15 on:** January 20, 2008, 06:35:50 PM »

Ya i will post one soon, i'm taking it apart for the 10th time in 10 years to make some more upgrades.
I'll keep in touch.

I looked in to motors in china and found a cool little diesel v twin. No Joke

Take care

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #16 on:** January 21, 2008, 12:03:41 AM »

Thanks mate, I'll look forward to it! Chinese stuff is getting better, and prices are low, but I hate that we're financially supporting a potential future enemy.

It's a "greed vs right" situation, but I think greed is winning, and we'll pay for it in the long term............. $:-\$

Gregorymoto · « **Reply #17 on:** January 21, 2008, 05:41:17 PM »

I know, i hope the next in power hear in the US pulls our heads out of our ass.

Take care.

Better do it real soon Terry...for the US market anyway. Your potential suckers...errr buyers...are already freakin' out about the depressed real estate market and the looming recession that they're convincing themselves of. Sell now!!! oooops...too late.

Yeah mate, I've been hearing about the looming US recession, (Depression?) could be scary times ahead, methinks.............. $:-\$

edbikerii · « **Reply #20 on:** January 22, 2008, 05:00:18 AM »

Hate to tell you this, guys, but it isn't just the US.

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #21 on:** January 22, 2008, 03:14:07 PM »

Very true Ed, as they say, "when Wall Street sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold".

About 12 billion dollars was wiped off the Aussie stockmarket in yesterdays trading alone, and so far, the looming recession has affected the economies of Europe and Asia, so we're all pretty much f*cked. Cheers, Terry.
