larry s. k. Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 This restored ? Is in my opinion questionable the same bike ,, model 480510 sold as easy rider bike on bohamas auctions , do you see the differences , and on other side it has mk2 up pipe exhaust ,, I working on 48 engine , and started looking for a frame , some one on line said it was a copy , and not the original , ridden by Fonda , , so I found clip on handle bars , chain guard , front wheel hub , spokes different , fork tube has brake tang , seat , little torn , ,, and if mk3 why mk2 exhaust up pipe , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 It wouldn't be the first Bultaco that has had the forks and front wheel fitted the other way around. Looks like the one from the movie has a different diameter front wheel. How long do you reckon it would run for with the fuel hose touching the cylinder fins and check out the brake pedal position. Pretty sure no-one rides this bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen anything like that. The kicker in the movie photo is a standard top pivot kicker. It is the S shape design though which is standard for that era and different to later (straight) kickers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stpauls Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) Just wondering which bits are supposed to be original? The more I look, the more I see different. Tank, seat, front wheel, hub, forks - the list is endless. Should have kept it original and not messed about with it. I have a 2022 TRS that was also used in the film and ridden by Fonda, McQueen and Elvis too. $100,000 and it's yours!
