I know I been posten pics like crazy, but gotta catch up.

Anyway I got a 1976 XLH 1000 for $1000 from a friends son-in-law, he bought the bike from someone a few years back not running, and was told the trans is no good.

So anyway I brought it home,the next day I changed the plugs, pulled and cleaned the carb, (its got S&S super E practically new) changed the oil, charged the batt and she fired right up, smokes like a bitch but runs perfect. The clutch cable was stripped going into the primary cover, so I made a bushing, got it working and the trans seems fine. She also got a brand new cycle electric generator. I recently got a new 2.2 tank and fender, the crappy Mustang tank is a gonner.
