Cool! Watching that show again recently, I saw two or three different stunt doubles for that old Ironhead that I didn't notice when I was a kid. They did a good job disguising them. Here I see a fake exhaust, oil tank and maybe air filter plus the sporty's seat, sissy bar, tail light, fender, and chain guard. Also I don't think the Sprint had frame downtubes until later than 1969.

Here's a Kiwi photo for you.
The guy is Len Southward who later was knighted to become Sir Len Southward
These photos were taken some time during our 1930 / 31 vehicle registration period so the bike wasn't very old when Len slotted that JAP in there. HD KTOR JAP 2.jpgHD KTOR JAP 1.jpgHD KTOR JAP 3.jpg

Thanks Tommo, that looked like one shoehorn fit~but he pulled it off. Would have loved to see & hear that JAP run.

Thanks, I read most of it an bookmarked it for later. It did have mention of someone making exact replica sissy bars, which I would need dimensions to re-create.
