Need help: Daisy's motorcycle from Hazzard Reunion

[Mark B / Scooter Davenport]

The one she rode in on at the beginning of the Reunion movie- I'd like to know what make/model if anyone can ID it.  Thanks!

IMCDb has it listed as a Harley Davidson, although there's a question mark hanging over it. I don't know much about bikes, but I think the badge on the tank matches those of older Harleys.

 

 

Here are a couple of other angles.

That should be enough to get started!

I don't know what that is. All four major Japanese bike makers back then were making Harley looks-a-likes. I remember when they started the practice of making them. Harley wasn't happy and as I recall filed a copyright lawsuit but that didn't stop them. I know the brands of the dirt bikes in the seven years of the original series were intentionally removed because they weren't supposed to use them. Now that I think of it, I'm trying to remember the word "Dodge" ever being used. I do think "Charger" was used a few times. The front forks of Daisy's bike look like that of a Harley "Fat Boy"

Getting off topic here but from what I remember 68' Coupe is the closest they ever got to calling it a Dodge Charger. They never said Charger at all if I remember correctly.

In 'Happy Birthday, General Lee', Waylon says "But something led Bo and Luke to that Capitol City junkyard. And right up to that wreck of an old black Charger. Sounds like a song old Willie would sing, don't it?"

Your right! i just watched it. How could I forget that. Somehow only 68 Coupe stayed hanging.
