1984 Harley-Davidson 1,000cc Sportster XLX
Frame no. 1HD1CCH30EY113353
Engine no. CCHE113353

Although retaining all the traditional characteristics that made them unique, the Harley-Davidsons of the 1970s began to incorporate some of the technological developments that had become the accepted norm on European and Japanese machines. Disc brakes and electronic ignition were commonplace on Harleys by the decade's end, by which time the convenience of electric starting had been extended to the Sportster model. The latter benefited from a capacity increase (to 1,000cc) for 1972 and in 1978 gained the superior twin-downtube cradle frame of the short-lived XLCR Café Racer. In 1982 a new welded frame was introduced, replacing the traditional lugged type in use hitherto, and then the following year saw the introduction of two new Sportsters: the XLS and XR 1000. While the former was a more affordable base model intended to attract new customers – it continued through 1985 gaining two more versions, the XLX and XLH along the way - the latter catered for those with a desire for increased performance..

This example, thought to be an XLX – black exhaust, short front fender and solo seat – has the 997cc motor which pushes out about 50 horsepower at 6,000rpm with a Keihin B83D carburetor, one shared between each cylinder. It uses discs at each end with a 19in rim on the front matched by a 16in at the rear to continue the 'Sportster look' complete with peanut-tank and 'bobber' seat or slim, low dual seat (although you wouldn't want to be on the back for long.) We're advised that the bike starts and runs but is in need of some recommissioning work.
