1966 Harley-Davidson Sportster XLCH

In America, Cruiser by Abhi3 Comments

The XLCH is one of the jewels of the Sportster model line. The CH is affectionately referred to as “Competition Hot” by some and it had a few changes from the XLH, notably a different tank and seat, as well as the removal of electric start and the battery. Both models were introduced in 1958 – the CH was a 883 until 1972, when it became a 1000.

Harley-Davidson XLCH - Front Left

According to this blurb from Motorcycle Classics, claimed power for the XLCH was 50 ponies, good for a top speed of 120 miles per hour. Wet weight is 452 pounds. This example (VIN: 66XLCH4180) looks like it’s recently been refurbished with excellent paint, a rebuilt magneto, and some aftermarket parts in the solo plunger seat. The carb is from a newer model but otherwise the seller says it’s quite original.
