Funny, when I first started riding Sportsters (I went through three between my 16th and 19th birthdays before sticking with the one in the photo) I had a couple of chances to buy XLCR's. They were dirt cheap then and nobody wanted them. I held out for a "real" Sportster. One of my room mates had one, and was actually kind of ashamed he couldn't afford a "real" Sportster. Just amazing... The best bike H-D was building at the time, and absolutely rejected by us bunch of knuckleheads.
Anyway, thanks for the links, guys. I'll check them out. This might be kind of fun... If I go anywhere with this, you can bet I'll stash all of the origninal parts that come off. I still have the original seat, bars, big ugly plastic gauges, crappy old Bendix carb, and everything else I have removed or replaced over the years. Someday this old pig might actually be worth something... In the meantime, I'll keep having fun with it.
