RE: Having a brain fart. XLH vs XLCH
I want a 103CI Screaming Eagle Sporty for the 50th Anniversary!
ORIGINAL: mudpuddle
By the way, in 1964, Hd produced 810 XLH models at $1,295.
1950 XLCH at $1,360.
1958 was the first year for the CH.
1957, of course was the first Sporty, the XL.
Can't wait to see what happens for the 50th anniversary models.
Gotta be something.

Ok, I'm having a massive brain fart. Casually talking with a bud earlier and he asked if my bike was XLH or XLCH. I wanted to say XLCH since it's Kick + Electric start, but, just not 100% sure, and I really don't feel like eating crow when it comes to my own bike. So I figgered I'll look like a chump verify on here rather'n talking out my behind.
Thanks, and try not to laugh *too* hard at my expence<g>

RE: Having a brain fart. XLH vs XLCH
My first bike was a '72 XLCH. At least that year, the XLCH was kick only, the XLH was both kick and electric. The XLCH was a little lighter at 474 pounds, and I believe it was also a little shorter wheelbase. They are also pretty easy to tell apart by the oil tank and battery. The XLCH has a smaller more oil square tank, the XLH is larger and more kidney shaped. The XLCH battery is also quite a bit smaller.

All Sportsters up to and including 1966 are kick only. Some of these were designated as XLH but were still kick only.
Starting in 1967 all XLHs are electric start, with some years including a kick starter.
Also beginning in 1967 all XLCHs are kick start only. On most [but not all] of these years a kick start kit can be installed.
