What year/model is Coburn's motorcycle?
I reckon she's a '29 WLD by the motor and front brake. With, of course, retro tanks, seat, floorboards, fenders, 'bars, and acetylene headlamp to look like a 1913 model. ( '13 9Es did not have a kick starter, either.)
Wish I had a better shot, sorry. You can go to You Tube; "Duck you Sucker!/A Fistful of Dynamite" to see a few minutes of her in action.
CB You ********; this is the post I Wrote on the Leone forum so many years ago.
Some Other ******** Insisted it was a : ""1915 Indian PowerPlus". BS, a '28 Harley will whip the Tail off any 1915 15 Hp 'sickle. Maybe Not an 8 valve 1916 HD flat tracker racer
Even a '29 45" flat head developed 35 Hp, 3 speeds; Not two.. In 1937, the OHV EL ("Knucklehead'" ) came out. Rest is History.

"it is a 1928 Harley Davidson. You can tell by the tanks, fenders, and springer suspension (Indian used leaf-springs until 1930). Also, 1915 Indians (Harleys, too) would have had perfectly round cylinder (s), of an intake-over-exhaust configuration--"F-head" in the US, "I-O-E" in Europe. The bike in the picture has a "flathead", or "L-Head". Most bikes of 1913-1915 had bicycle pedals to help them get going, and leather belts."
