This "chromed and raked" panhead chopper is a replica of the machine that was featured in the movie Easy Rider. There were actually two Captain Americas, one being a backup bike in case one of the old machines failed or got wrecked. One was demolished in the final scene, and the other believed to have been dismantled for parts before their significance as movie props became known.
