Harley Davidson Used Parts

Harley Davidson motorcycles. What actually defines a bike as one?
Is it the gas tank? The air filter cover? The frame? There are so many motorcycles that look like a Harley. Some even better and cheaper. For example, Independence makes a beautiful bike that uses mostly the same parts. Custom bike builders use the same parts. But what part makes the bike a Harley?
Primarily, it it the badge on the fuel tank. There are some bikes with Harley engines, but that does not make them a Harley. Even though HD owns Buell, many of the HD “purists” won’t accept these bikes as Harleys. Then again, there are some bikes without Harley engines (such as the Aerimachi-built HD Sprint 350 – a really cool bike) that are technically Harleys also.
It is all a bit convoluted to me – just ride.
Oh, and don’t buy the bit about resale. That is an old saw that doesn’t fly anymore. Harleys depreciate only slightly slower than Japanese bikes these days, due to a glut on supply.
