Thx for the comments, I had a run in with liver cancer and got a transplant last year. The 60's XLCH was what got me into HD at age 8 or 9, I'm 60 now and after 11 HD motorcycles in those years;I decided I can't die without having one, so it's my bucket bike. And yes. I'm healthy enough to kick the ****.

Just looked at this again. In the third pic, is that a gravity flow fuel line to a carb? Hope you enjoy your bucket bike for a long, long time.
