Question

not the bike he used for stunts.

the bike that turns into the "ghost bike". its blue with flames on the gas tank and has an elongated rake. anyone what kind of bike it is or what mods where done to it?

Answer 1

"The flame tank chopper Johnny Blaze rides is a modern replica of the "Captain America" chopper that Peter Fonda rides in _Easy Rider_ . Fonda (as the Mephestopheles character) makes a humorous reference to this at one point, saying, "Nice bike!"

Answer 2

To elaborate on the other answer.  It's an older Harley Davidson that has been heavily modified.  This includes a rigid frame (no back suspension) and an extended rake (elongated front forks).  It's a custom bike.  You won't see anything like that for sale from your local dealership.

Answer 3

It's an old Panhead in a rigid frame, modeled after Peter Fonda's bike in Easy Rider. I don't have the specs handy, but if memory serves, it's a 45 degree rake with a 12 inch over front end. The bike in Ghost Rider is named Grace, so hopefully a Google of that will give you what you need.
