Here's a couple shots of my 1976 XLCH. Loved that bike! Extremely fast and nimble on the mountain roads! I had not trouble at all keeping up (and passing) my friend's new 1200 Sporty. That thing ended up causing me to have a bad knee after kicking it for 14 years. It was well worth it, though! Fun machine. I was running 12.5:1 compression Weisco pistons, ported heads, dual plugs, Accel ignition system w/ Chevy 6-cyl points, SU Eliminator carb (never do that again... switched to an S&S later for much better performance), Andrews Y-grind cams, Andrews tranny gears, can't remember what the pipes were, but it ran best with 1.75 inch drags with small baffles. The older HDs are about the only bikes that run well with drags.... They will KILL a lot of torque on an EVO or TC! I had that old Sporty up to just over 135 mph on several occasions. Kinda scary sometimes.... I had to lean over the tank to keep the front tire on the road. It tended to float when hitting small bumps in the road at very high speeds. That'll keep you awake! :D

These old Ironheads acutally put out more HP then some of the 1200's out there. From 1972-1977 the stock engine was rated at 61hp at 6200 RPM. 1hp per cubic inch. How many Harleys today put out that ratio of HP to CI? The big twins of those years only had 65hp and were much heavier. It is little wonder why these XLCH's won so many races in those days and even a few against some modern bikes of larger displacements. Just think, this is the rating on a stock Ironhead with a stock Bendix carb. With the mods you had in your '76, you were probably putting out even more horses.
