Well, as you said, it's a "replica."  Someone put this together to resemble a Harley-Davidson FL or FLH, sort of.  The engine is made to look like a Panhead, and the saddlebags resemble those of the same era as the engine.  Some of the details are fairly accurate but some are not.  It appears to have a hardtail frame but there are what looks like shock absorbers attached where they would be if it had rear suspension.  The tail lights are wrong and too many. The spot lights are mounted in the wrong place.  I could go on but I'm not going to.  Best guess year & model the artist was going for: 1949 - 1957 HydraGlide.

No chain or belt connecting the transmission and primary to the rear wheel.  And yes, shocks on a hard tail frame (no swing arm). 

 

Still not too too bad for a scratchbuilt model.
