I'm not sure but I think after the H.D group bought the company back from AMF, Willie G was made head of the design dept or something like that and a couple of things he did was design the skull and #1 logo to give harley a new, more radical image to set them apart from the old AMF ones.
Anyway, I think that's how it went,

Buyer beware on this ebay auction, its the sellers first sale, I would verify who the guy is before anyone makes a purchase. There's so many scammers out there.

As for the original bikes one was wrecked and was later bought by the actor Dan Haggerty. He did not finish it and sold it to an anonomous party ( Peter Fonda ? ) who finished it and put in on loan to the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa Iowa. The other one was stolen and presumed to have been sold for parts. I believe the ones in the Reading Museum are reproductions.
So.....you're saying the Reading Public Museum is, shall we say, "exageratting" a little in their advertisement.

Im pretty sure one of the 2 original Capt America bikes is in the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, IA. Along with a signed pic of Peter Fonda certifying this bike as 1 of the 2 original bikes built for the film.

I think what you have in that eBay listing is a relatively illiterate seller, attempting to say he built a bike after the Easy Rider bike.
Note also that the description says it is 88 cc's in size.
