"Have You Gotta Helmet?"
Fonda’s iconic red, white and blue stars and stripes panhead chopper, with chromed hardtail frame, was designed and built by Cliff Vaughs and Ben Hardy following Fonda's design. The motorcycle is 98 inches long and 60 inches high, and weighs approximately 650 lbs. This screen-used model was one of two Captain America bikes built (in the event of mechanical issues), and was ridden by Fonda. It also featured in the climactic crash sequence.
After filming Fonda gave the motorcycle to actor Dan Haggerty, and for a time it was displayed at the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa.
Profiles in History says the whereabouts of the second Captain America chopper - stolen just before the film's release - is unknown.
