From Robin Oster, Bryon Farnsworth's recollection there were 3 bikes taken for the cross country US testing, 2 for riding (2 riding at a time) and 1 spare. The riders were Bryon, "Kiyo", and "Big Eyes", with Jeff Shelter as the mechanic. This photo on an old Kawasaki Cycle World June 1975 is the only photo I have seen of this event. I way oversharpened it to try to see more, but since it is taken from behind, it seems there is not alot more to learn. It would be interesting, however to find out exactly where it was taken, if anyone can find a landmark in the photo, I would be grateful.
