Did you get detail shots of the left brake lever?
Also where the red tubing goes on the left side microphone hanger piece.

Abe, I think youre right about the chain... Its either a diamond chain or some aftermarket chain. I found one that was a NOS schwinn chain that had the goldish outer links but im thinking its a diamond chain... Unfortunately none of my pics were sharp enough to see the diamond...
As for the gooseneck... I picked up a rechromed one that was said to be off a 50's schwinn... It matches the screen used bike pretty well, but im sure they made these same style on later bikes too...

Jamie,
I still don't see what that light goes?? On the dash of the Tiger siren??
Sorry but I beg to differ on the wheels, I know they're definately not Araya or Ukai, I checked some of those out and the rim profile is way different. The X1's have a slight crown and dimples, same wheels on both Museum bikes.
It would make sense to use aftermarket heavy duty wheels for stunts.
The bike is this pics is not a movie X1, Pee Wee's Bike picture by witzkus - Photobucket
The bags are all different.
It would make sense they had a fiberglass mold and all the bags and custom pieces be exactly the same.
Also some people say that the comet sprocket is only a colson or hawthorne part but a Japanese bike maker made some like this in the 80's too, see item 350434040169 on ebay, I've seen it in about 3 different tooth count too.
I think the whole outboard motor story, might have been that they referenced it for the bags not actually molded anything.
I've read the same story someplace.
Please add pics when you get them.
Also I found this recently online

Yeah, no kidding... Actually i was looking at all the wires today and they all are pulled out from where they are supposed to go... Im sure all the cables go into that space between the tank halves... I think the museum people just didnt know what to do with them so they tried to make some sense of them.

The middle button switch/light on tank should be this......
Just add a washer under it...
Still really confused about this... Where did you see this button on the tank? Ive looked through all my screen grabs from the film and never saw it.

Easy... take it down a notch... Just posed a question...
Im still not seeing that green light... I see a big yellow arrow pointing to a metal button with a washer under it...

Mellow...
It's just a bike.
It's not a good sign when your 14th post to a new forum is you screaming at someone. People are here to ask questions. Get used to it.
Here's a screengrab to add to the discussion...
Still kinda blurry. :/

I can totally see that being a light housing.
I'd love to see some sharper pics. I'm sure that's where the confusion comes from.
Nothing beats an in person viewing!
Also is that wood behind that peeled off section?
Nick
Yeah, its like 3/4 inch plywood that supports the side bags and top container. Then the fiberglass is attached to the wood with screws...
I actually just went and saw the bike again yesterday. Had to get a few additional pictures before starting my sidebags.. Ill post some new pics when i get a chance... Also, talked to one of the curators of the museum... She said Paul Ruebens donated the bike, so its now their property and on permanent display... She added a pretty cool story about him riding the bike around the floor after they brought it upstairs just as a last goodbye... Kinda cool.
