Default HD in Lost TV show: ID question

Hi,
I am not a HD or cycle expert, and am having trouble identifying a motorcycle featured in the television show Lost. (If you watch the show, then the character "Kate" was riding it in Season 1's episode 22 entitled "Born to Run").

Someone suggested it was a HD. I was wondering if some of the experts here could take a look and give an opinion as to:
1) whether this bike is a HD
2) if so, list which models this might be (the images are poor, so all possible guesses should be covered)

The images from the show:

Thank you!

Santa, the pictures are pretty bad to tell what kind of bike it is. I would say its not a Harley maybe a Honda can`t really say for sure, didn`t watch any of that show !

Tough call, but I would suggest that it a Jap bike ,look at those indicators and clocks.
Is that a horn under the bottom fork yolk ?

I would guess it is a metric just from the shape of the turn lamps.

Yeah the first indication to me was the signals and the horn under the triple trees.
