XLCR was HD's attempt at a cafe racer back in the late '70s. Had a li'l fairing, and weird pipes, and some other cafe racer stuff. XLCH was a kickstart only Sporty.

The XLCR (CR = Cafe Racer) was produced by HD back in 1977 and 1978.

1,000cc, about 68 horsepower, maximum speed 110..

I always thought they were 'strange looking', but that's just a preference as I like the cruiser look over the cafe racer style.

Here is a link with some information and a picture.
