Is this fraud or not.

Is this fraud or not.
So I went into my local dealer (which will remain nameless) and I noticed this bike sitting in the used section. Not to break away from the thread but my dog just climbed up on the the couch and farted in my wife's face. LMFAO . So I walk over and notice that it is a 100th Anniversary Electra glide. So I look at the tag and the dealership is selling the bike for $15K. So I start inspecting and see that there is no damage, many extras and very very low miles. Then something catches my eye. The crankcase doesn't have the 100th Anniversary badge on it. This is something you need to check if you are looking at getting a used 100th Ann edition. So I ask the guy behind the parts counter what the deal is. So he tells me that it is not a 100th Ann edition. The prior owner just liked the badges that came with the 100th Ann edition so he put them on.
So I know you can't just get the badges anyplace, but you can get them. So with the shop selling this bike with no mention that it is in fact not a 100th Ann edition, could this be fraud. Does anyone know if having a bike like this in a HD dealership is a no no?

Why would it be a no no? People can put whatever parts they want on their own bike. If it's a 2003 then it qualifies as an anniversary bike....they all were. Some came in black with anniversary stripes like my mine, others came in black/silver (anniversary package) and then there were all the other colors. So I guess the question is, what year was the bike you looked at?

The bike is actually a 2007. But I was told that you can't get 100th Ann badges without bringing the bike into the dealership and having them make sure the bike is a 100th Ann edition. So if you gotta bring the bike into the dealership so they can verify that it is a TRUE 100th Ann edition before getting badges, how would it make it ok to sell a fake 100th Ann edition.
I don't know, it might just be me. If I had a true 100th Ann edition bike and so tool pulled up next to me with a fake one I don't know what I would do. But I guess the same can be said about my street glide. I do have a screaming eagle air intake.
