In 76 and 77 Harley made the café racer XLCR with the upswept side pipes, 1000cc. All black.

in 84 they made the XR 1000 that looked a lot like the XR 750, really a good looking street bike. It also had the upswept side pipes and twin Dell Ortos coming out the other side.

Both of these are expensive these days. As I said before, I owned a 77 XLCR and enjoyed it but I had it in the 80s,
When they came out my street bike was a 75 Triumph Three cylinder that Danny Macias made faster for me. He put the road racing cams in it, a stronger clutch, Dunstall exhaust, AND, the 900cc kit from a company in Texas. These came with front and rear disk brake, possibly the first production street bike in the US to have them. Triumph had bought the BSA and used their three cylinder frame for Triumph threes starting in maybe 74. This bike is pictured in post 111
