I have a 2007 EVO and just wanted to know if the gold colored links in the bracelet are real gold. I bought it from my AD. Thanks. 8)

They are, but only plated.
They are completely gold only on full gold models.

IIRC, isn't the gold more than gold plated? I think the term was gold-rolled, where a layer of gold is actually pressed onto the links. On my TT bracelet, I can see the layer from the side.

Still not 100% gold, but it is better than just a plating.

Yes, it is rolled-gold, which is apparently thick enough to engrave (if you are careful!)

Indeed - 20 microns to be precise.
