I bought my 1st Sportster in 78 it was a 76 Bi-centenial. I changed out the seat for a set up like yours. I Bobbed it so took off all the x-tra stuff, it leaked oil a bit, and I parked it in the kitchen over a turkey pan to catch the drippings. It was AMF, but it never thought about breaking down on me. It was great city bike and a cruising over the road bike. I wish I would have never sold it. out of all my bike's it was my favorite.
I had one off them back in the 80's. Picked it up cheap from brother in law who need some cash quick. They are sweet bikes. This one was completely rebuilt but had a bad vibration which ended up being a cheap fix, front wheel. This was also the last year of right side shift. My fav Sporty was my 71 Sportster XLCH 1000
Very nice job restoring the bike, beautiful. I just picked up a 73 that I'm going to restore myself. Runs good, original paint just like to get it back to original possible. Its the exact bike except I had a Kicker back then. Original price in 73 when I was 19 years old was $ 1,950.00

It's absolutely gorgeous. I love the old Iron Heads.

It looks sweet ! I just traded my old Jeep with a blown motor and bad transmission for a nice 1981 Sportster that runs . Good trade !
I've always loved the Sportsters from this era. Nice restoration, gentlemen.
Nothing like an old leaky ironhead.... They’re a pain in the ass but still my favorite bikes!!!
Just great sound!
??? why does this bike was forgotten in a garage??? it's a crime not ridding that bike. Enjoy it guys!

If it is an electric start it is not a ch it is an h.
Apparently there are conversion kits available...? (Not sure if they let you keep the kick start or not.)
That year had electric start
I own one too.
Xlch is kick only
V-Twin sells add on electric starters... I'm currently doing one to my 76 XLCH.
Nice bike, stupid hat.
