With deceptive speed, the slim, black Harley-Davidson XLCR carved a swath through the miles of slow-moving metal. The slightest twist of the throttle sent the torquey V-twin stomping effortlessly forward. Everywhere the menacing black Harley XLCR Café Racer went, its booming bass exhaust note cleared cars from its path, turned pedestrians’ heads and threatened to turn buildings to rubble.Magical stuff — and I wasn’t even riding the Harley, just following behind on a modern Honda while the XLCR’s owner led the way through his neighborhood with practiced ease. Even before I got to ride it, the original Harley-Davidson Café Racer had charmed me with its unique style and presence. But if that’s the V-twin’s great strength, then it’s also the Hog’s fatal flaw. For if ever a motorcycle was built for image rather than performance, this is the one.Read about Tony Long's experience of riding and owning a Harley XLCR Café Racer Form over functionThat was not quite what was intended when the Harley-Davidson XLCR — pronounced 'Excelsior,' one awe-struck tester commented — was launched in 1977.

Harley-Davidson : Sportster 79 harley davidson 1000 xlh xlcr vintage cafe racer e start 10 k miles new parts

Fort Myers Beach, Florida

I've got to raise thousands by April 15th, so my '79 HD Sportster 1000 has to be sold. It started as a very original, numbers matching XLH (see photo) with low miles and 2 previous owners. It had been sitting awhile, so it needed the usual.................. Oil Change, Fresh Gas, New Battery, Avon Roadrider Tires, New Oil and Air Filter, New Carb, Valve Adjustment, Primary Chain Adjustment and it started right up, ran and idled great. Many of the original parts were fine, so they were adjusted, lubed and cleaned. I've always had a soft spot for the '78 '79 XLCR Cafe Racer that HD produced, so I decided to take virtually the same frame, engine, suspension, brakes, etc. as the XLCR, and make my own version of a HD Cafe Racer. I used as many used parts as possible to retain the 36 year old patina. The CR is not competed to my satisfaction though.....................Left front brake rotor is a bit warped, The left fork seal weeps a bit, Has some other MINOR leaks, The speedo cable makes some noise, Kickstand needs a block to sit straight, Right battery cover missing, and it jumped out of 2nd gear one time when I romped on it, but I rode it over 100 miles without another problem. It's a true cafe racer, not a highway cruiser, so it was perfect riding to the local bike bars. A vintage bike needs to be pampered with regular oil checks/changes, gas treatment (Seafoam), turn off gas, check tire pressure, put in neutral at lights, started regularly and ridden with respect which will give you trouble free rides for years, not treated like some modern crotch rocket. Early HDs are known for poor brakes, clunky transmissions and vibration, and this bike is no exception, but the sound and torque are unbelievable!. Always draws a crowd, and stands out among baggers and other Harleys. Check my other auction for a budget Cafe Racer. Happy to help with shipping, even overseas and please email any questions.On Mar-30-15 at 04:52:12 PDT, seller added the following information: Clean, Signed Florida Title/ Factory HD Service Manual & Oil Filter Part Number (see pic)On Mar-31-15 at 04:29:50 PDT, seller added the following information: Both gauges work, as do all the lights.....................even the generator and oil pressure warning lights. The bulky stock HD horn was replaced with a smaller horn mounted under the seat, out of view.On Apr-03-15 at 08:47:11 PDT, seller added the following information: A long time HD Ironhead mechanic helped me with an oil change modification (see new pic). When changing engine oil, the oil pump sometimes gets air locked which requires the sending unit to be removed to properly bleed the air/oil. Now with a petcock between the pump and sending unit, you just loosen the valve and let the air bleed naturally. When you see oil, close it up. If you're in a hurry, start the engine with the valve open until only oil comes out. I prefer the first method. Clean, easy, effective.
