Our research and development started in January 2002 and never stopped! We spent 3 years searching for all Captain America and Billy's Bike replicas publicly available and any publication related to the subject, both new and old. Then we dissected the movie Easy Rider frame by frame, using 250 printed frames in all, to capture the most intricate of details. Our attention to the most obscure features such as the type of frame, motor, fender, front-end extension, headlight, electrical wiring material, color, the type of connector, seat buttons, headlamp has all but brought this icon back to life! These and literally thousands of other components were made to the original specifications and anything we couldn’t find, we fabricated.
This venture has been based on a childhood dream of riding the most famous motorcycle that ever existed. The bad news is, it wasn't easy. We spent two and half of R&D to make sure that we built the World's Most Authentic Captain America ever but the good news is, we did the hard work for you!!

Easy Rider is about two motorcyclists,
Wyatt (Peter Fonda) and Billy (Dennis Hopper), who embark on a
coast-to-coast odyssey in search of real America. They encounter
along the way the many faces of its big cities and small towns,
a hippie commune, drugs, and sex in a New Orleans bawdy house.
Directed by Dennis Hopper at the age of 31 and costing a mere
$340,000, the film went on to gross millions and it changed the
pop culture landscape. This often-imitated but never-duplicated
movie defined a generation and has a great soundtrack (featuring
The Byrds, The Band, Steppenwolf, Jimi Hendrix, The Electric Prunes,
and more). Record producer Phil Spector is featured in the film,
and the late novelist Terry Southern ("The Magic Christian") collaborated
with Hopper and Fonda to write the script. Academy Award Nominations
included Best Supporting Actor for Jack Nicholson, and Best (Original)
Story and Screenplay.
The original "Captain America" was one
of four panheads purchased by Peter Fonda from an L.A. police
department auction, and was customized by Fonda, customizer Tex
Hall, and actor Dan Haggerty who also had a brief appearance in
Easy Rider but is best known for his role in the TV series "Grizzly
Adams." The three did all the chopping, welding, fabricating and
painting to produce four bikes for the movie. They made two "Billy
Bikes" named for and ridden by the character played by Dennis
Hopper and two of the more radically chopped "Captain America" machines ridden by Fonda. Two of each were built in order to switch
back and forth due to the rigors of filming.
The "Captain America" is a 1952 Panhead
that boasts 55 horsepower at 4800 RPM. It's on a rigid wishbone
frame that's slightly laid back, with its front forks extended
12 inches. When Fonda was asked about his use of the Stars and
Stripes on the bike, he said," I got the idea for the flag on
the back of my jacket from John Wayne, referring to the movie
American Tiger. I wore that jacket around the streets of LA every
night on my bike. And I got stopped by the police every night
for defaming the American flag. A year after Easy Rider was released
there was a flag on every police jacket, their cars, and their
equipment. The bikes held together quite well during the production
except for the one "Captain America" that was trashed in the last
scene of the movie. The machines seemed poised to become the property
of the actors and producers until thieves broke into a storage
garage and took them all except the one trashed "Captain America."
Since the movie had not yet been released, the bikes, in fact,
meant little to the thieves as they were nothing more than customized
Harley Panheads. They left the damaged "Captain America" behind.
After the movie was released, Fonda gave the bike to Dan Haggerty
who put it back together. From his Woodland Hills home, Haggerty
said he rebuilt the bike as a memento to his work on the film.
