I have that same picture of John Fogerty hanging in my office.  I have another picture of Fogerty and the other 3 members of Creedence Clearwater Revival all riding CL450's

I remember having seen a clip Sweet Hitchhiker with Fogerty riding a CB. Decades ago. Not this one, although it reminds me of the days people carried less arms and were sexier. And hitchhiking was safe.

I think you probably mean this one.   Toward the end at around 1:40 you get some fairly good shots of the bike.  Looks like a green CB450.

Looks like a green 'Black' Bomber allright. Now if any of you can determine what green, we'll be able to conclude what K.. . My guess is 1971.
Thanks for the clip. I'm not sure if this the one I've seen in the 70s. I remember it in black and white (our TV was black and white then) and... a solorider. Could have been part of a documentary about CCR.
And to add confusion in this one he rides a drum frontbrake CL CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL - "IN CONCERT" - 1970 - Part 2 of 5 From 4:16.
