It is hard to tell that started as a Crossbones. They also used one in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

but the WLA was a flat-head and they are very different looking than the ones they put there
Alas, I have seen the knucklehead rocker tops from xzotic for Twinkies and they look awesome.

One of the local dealerships here was handing out limited edition movie posters with a purchase. Mine is still rolled up though I may frame it since I have a few extra frames lying around. They also have an "Easy Rider" bike in one of the local dealerships as well.
