Looks REAL to me!
slightly older model, with the slightly larger crown image and "ROLEX" logo than the current ones.

Only someone who is a "bastid" would wear a fake. They are such "tossers"!

Can you post comparative photos of the helium release valves? I heard that is another easy way to spot a fake sea dweller. The real one uses a different metal (titanium?) that is darker than the rest of the SS casing. From what I hear the fakes are still using SS so there is no difference in color.

The fake SD's I have seen are now using a darker metal for the HEV. I doubt that they go to the expense of using titanium. Up until now, the fake SD's I have seen all failed miserably at recreating the engraving on the back. Some pitiful examples even misspelled "Helium Escape Valve" to read "Heliom EsOape VOlve" or similar gaffs. I guess the Chinese CNC operator didnt know english to well

However, they are now even getting the engraving right.

The real deal on the left, counterfeit on the right

Are you talking about edges being less sharp than the real one?

That too, but more so the spacing of the verticals at the top .

I'm just trying to make sure I understand. Are you talking about the 4 angles on the interior of the 4 b/c there seems to be some variation of the real ones. Some have 4 and some have 3. Mine actually looks more like the fake one in this regard and has 3 angles on the interior of the 4.

And yes mine is real in case anyone was wondering.

CoopJr · 20 November 2007, 11:05 AM

Yes as a matter of fact it is. At the time of this pic we were on my '03 Ultra Classic.

Great pic and bike man

Here's mine. 2000 FXDX

Wow guys some really great bikes and special ladies thanks for sharing

CoopJr · 21 November 2007, 03:36 AM

Now the big question is would you ride with your watch on? I would'nt. Better safe than sorry

rogerfromco · 21 November 2007, 06:09 AM

I ride with my Citzen Titanium Eco-drive on. Lighter, so I don't feel the vibration on the wrist and I'd hate to see the SD look like the road rash JJ has been posting lately!

God all mighty you aint kidding! I believe in wearing your watch but sometimes you just have to be prudent about it

Nice SE! I have had 4 Harley's in my life. A '93 Cow Glide, the Ultra and 2 RK's. The Ultra is the best, hands down. Ride, stability, comfort and amenities, it tops them all. I was afraid it was an old man's bike but I don't feel old at all riding it.

Nothing wrong with riding a dresser, Allan

They're smooth as anything and very comfy for the wife.

I love my Dyna and everytime I thing about getting a Street Glide, I take mine for a ride and that quickly changes my mind. The riding season isn't long enough for two bikes here. Plus with the Dyna being a rubber mount, it's comfortableenough for 250-300 mile jaunts a day and fun enough to go out and drag the pegs and wheelie while the boys go out and play too

This is my second HD. My first one was a 1969 XLH. My father had a '93 cow glide too. One of the best looking bikes they made in the last 20 yrs, IMO.

Nice bikes Roger

A buddy of mine had a Deuce like yours. We used to break his balls and call it the Grey Poupon bike

Are you anywhere near Aspen Valley HD?

Hey Mailman - I assume the Grey Poupon bike comment is in reference to the price tag for the FXSTDSE. I have to agree that the MSRP was nuts. Lucky for me I bought it off a guy who bought it new in Sturgis, put 900 miles on it and then had to sell it to raise money to open another restaraunt. I saved $10k buying it used - maybe my best bargin ever.

As for Aspen Valley HD, no we're in the Denver metro area.

BTW - Nice Dyna; love the blacked out bike!

The Grey Poupon was in reference to the color

You got a hell of a deal on it and it's a great looking bike. Just what you'd have to spend in accessories alone to get what's on there would have cost you more than that.

Thanks for the kudos on my bike.

I powdercoated all of the engine and tranny covers gloss black and topped them off with polished SS 12 pt hardware.

ezmoney46 · 21 November 2007, 10:48 AM

I ride w/ my SUB all the time. it keepks it wound up.
