Wild Angels Bikes
Here are some nice pictures of Fonda's panhead, Joint's Pan, as well as Dear John's / Henry of the Ironhorsemen's Knucklehead taken from: http://www.imcdb.org/movie_61189-The-Wild-Angels.html (A great side to look for bikes in movies I might add!)
Late 50s Bell 500-TX Helmet vs. Mid 60s Version!
I was pretty fascinated with the Bell 500-TX helmet so I did some more digging and with Tjebbe's help from ZZ-Chop I located this great helmet book! (Check out the original post if you're interested as well as for an advertisement showing the rare visor above): http://nostalgiaonwheels.blogspot.com/2009/06/bell-500-tx-helmet-is-worth-its-weight.html)
Apparently Rin Tanaka's book entitled "The Motorcycle Helmet" dates this Bell 500-TX helmet to around 1957-1958, making it one of the earliest know examples. The marbled visor was made by Cragar and is evidently mega rare as well!
First Snell logo bears no serial numbers apparently!
This one is most likely a 1958-1959 version!
Early liner is supposedly all white!
Front waterslide decal looks the same on both late 50s models!
The later 50s example shown here with the serial numbers!
The 1965 version with the metallic silver Bell sticker up front!
Even the interior styrofoam colors change with the versions!
An up close and personal with the silver metallic mid-60s Bell logo!
Liner details from Yoshi's 1969 catalog. For the late 60s 500-TX examples see the earlier post! (all information shown here was taken from Rin Tanaka's great book, "The Motorcycle Helmet" 1930s - 1990s!

1958 Dragstrip Riot Movie Still - Attack of the Pre-units!

Angels Die Hard Lobby Cards from 1970
Customs 4 the Show & Strip!
It looks like dual Linkerts and machined lucite pegs and shifter on this highly chromed panhead!
This overhead cam conversion pre-unit looks amazing down to the cool Everoak Racemaster looking helmet hanging over the bars!
Check out the wild paint on this little buggers tank and helmet. I can't tell if these are BSAs or Triumphs from the angle but appear to be unit dirt trackers! (all pictures from the same 1965 Motorcycle book as below!)
Old Racers & Miscellaneous!
Mark Anthony, this guy has your exact same speedway seat!
Slidin' the turns 30s style!
Those Flxi side cars look like a blast on the peashooter racers!
Injuns awaiting the boards!
Upside down smokescreen! Spyhunter in the early teens! (all photos from the 1965 Treasury of Motorcycles of the World book!)
