The front fender appears to making some serious contact with the tire?

Looks like a Honda street/trail

MP5 touched on the fender.   The 70's enduro bikes had high mounted fenders.   They were also smaller engines.  The jug in that picture looks huge compared to the 100s and 125s of the 70s.   It's almost definitely a Honda but I just figure out what model.

I wish I could figure out what kind of bike that is.   

The SADF used modified Honda 500XRs at the time. That’s according to the Rhodie crew.

He's a War Boy. He'll be bringing us home, bringing back what's stolen, like he's supposed to.

I liked that show

I'm thinking Clyde Barrow. He was known to be quite fond of BARs, sawed off shotguns and 1911s.

Nope, doesn't look anything like him. https://www.google.com/search?q=clyde+barrow&client=firefox-b-1-d&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=0k_iJsyki1t2lM%2C-gb3J_XBmppjeM%2C%2Fg%2F11bc5g5cb5&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kSjJn9RXN7HCa_t756_ZPTwyRSSJA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjPv7ymtPHvAhWaWM0KHS0bDOkQ_B16BAg5EAE#imgrc=0k_iJsyki1t2lM

I could be wrong, but that looks more like a display of Police captured weapons rather than a gangster showing off.

I see a chopped Browning A5......

Yeah, I would think so too. Also this man's hairline seems to be receding back. Clyde was young when he was killed.

[Jeb48]

I read it as a law enforcement display when I found it. Never thought he was a gangster, he looks like a cop.

Lewis.  The round post  above the '797' is where the pan magazine mounts.  The Vickers is a modified Maxim and is belt-fed.  It doesn't look quite right to me.  It might be a movie prop.
