1969 HARLEY DAVIDSON SPORTSTER XLCH RARE OLD HOT ROD

We are relisting a rare non-molested 1969 Harley-Davidson XLCH 900 Sportster for your consideration.

The XLCH was HD’s “competition hot” and was released in 1958. Sony Barger of the Hell’s Angels owned a ’65. 1969 was the last year for this classic old school motorcycle. Most of these machines were chopped as was the thing in the day. There is no battery or electric start. There is a system for kick starting these bikes as there is no float bowl. Google it. It’s not a bike for the timid or folks with leg or knee injuries. It’s a big boy’s hot rod ride. The motorcycle is owned by my 70 year old heavy equipment mechanic friend. The machine is mechanically sound. There are 30,000 original miles on it.

This motorcycle came with the Akron wheel option as well as the optional drag pipes. It has the Fairbanks Morris Harley magneto, ot Joe Hunt.

The machine has some minor upgrades. This includes a 38 mm Bendix adjustable jet carburetor, /16th stainless steel Buchannan spokes and a La Pree seat. The clutch has been changed to wet, o lubrication comes from the engine. The original factory seat shown in the pictures goes with the bike.

The machine comes with extra spare parts such as mag, arb and generator-the original repair manual an old add any anything else we find related to it in the shop.

Bike has been repainted in 1969 DuPont Emron factory Blue.

The bike was to be auctioned in Houston Texas as a benefit for a cancer patient, ut they never paid the donation fee. We had one bidder from California back out of an $8,000 deal as the bike, hile it has a clear Texas title- hasn’t been registered in a few years. If this is a problem, on’t make an offer. We just ride it around the shop. Too many other bikes to keep up.

NADA lists prices from $4,260 for poor condition to $16,705 for excellent. This bike is in great condition- We are selling below market.
