Description:

    This rare and exceptionally well detailed early Sportster was painstakingly restored using a lifetime accumulation of new old stock parts. A highly desired “Competition Hot” model, this bike has been tastefully fitted with period correct accessories.

    A purist will note that this motorcycle could be considered “over restored” The fact is that the polishing and personalizing of motorcycles began at the dealership. Flawless paint, perfect chrome, and beautifully polished aluminum give the bike a “factory custom” appearance.

    This XLCH runs every bit as nicely as it looks, but it's exceptionally tidy appearance is what make her a standout at any show.
