1969 Harley-Davidson XLCH Sportster Ironhead for Sale
This handsome 1969 Sportster XLCH is the last of the line of the kickstart-only, magneto-fired ironhead Sporties, born in the 1950s and still kicking backin the 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond. Gorgeous in its " Sparkling Gold" livery (original color but older repaint) and almost 100% original equipment. This rare beast hasn't been " updated" or " improved. " What was chromed from the factory is still chrome. What was painted is still painted. What was polished is still polished. It still sports its original drum brakes, gaitored forks, alloy rims, factory exhaust, two-tone " buddy" seat, carb, " ham can" air filter, Morse-Fairbanks magneto, buckhorn handlebars, etc. In fact, if you look closely, you'll see it still wears OEM Goodyear All Traction rear and Sport Rib front tires! Of course the left grip controls the spark person/advance, it shifts on the right and brakes on the left. There is no battery. The generator powers the lights and horn when running. It's vintage, pure and primal. I changed the fluids, put in a new primary cover gasket, cleaned the carb, installed a new original style fuel petbird, cleaned and set the points, etc. After this, I fired it up, and test rode it the 5 miles showing on the tripmeter. Ran like a freight train, clutch, gearbox, brakes, all good. Sounds fantastic. Clean title.
