I think he means he won his auction for the piece... There's been tons of cheap Chinese-duplicated mdse on eBay lately I've noticed.

Look at the unit location... avoid "China".

That's an aftermarket fender that someone placed an anniversary emblem on. It's not OEM. HD's only plastic rear fender was on the tail of the original 1971 Superglide.

As well.....100th anniversary has a gold leafy type stripe on it, and not just the emblem.

The answer to your question is: Shafted.

What you got was this: A cafe front fender.
