Easy... Harley Fatbody SF 1965 - this is the rare "Born in the USA" variant with winged logos on the footpegs, side lights and bar ends.

You could get matching tasslled leathers and waist coat too although I understand it was a short lived model as the logo turned out to be very similar to "The Church of the Divine Winged Angel" and there was copyright issues.

The church group came to a similarly impromptu end when in 1969 they decided that as the end of the world was going to happen on August 13th they would all commit suicide by eating poison leaves of the Brassica Nightstalkaris (related to the brussels sprout out of interest) and although death didn't take them for three days (on August 15th - bummer) they eventually farted themselves to death one by one.

Hope this helps mate [smiley=thumbup.gif]

Looks similar to the Buell logo but the other way round

That's a Buell peg for sure, off of the XB range, 12 s's etc,

the elbow gives a slightly more relaxed riding position
