1976 HARLEY-DAVIDSON 1000 XLCH
In 1957 Harley Davidson introduced the XL Series "Sportster" motorcycle which looked very similar to the Model K Series except that the 54 cubic inches (883cc) side-valve V-twin engine with its aluminium heads and cylinders was replaced by the 54 cubic inches (883cc) overhead valve (OHV) engine which featured iron heads and cylinders. Otherwise, the 1957 Sportster XL had the same basic frame, engine case, right foot shift, right side drive chain, telescopic front fork, rear suspension and brake drums as the 1956 Model K.
In 1958 Harley introduced the Sportster XLCH. Many sources say the "CH" stands for "Competition Hot" while others say the H stands for "High pressure". In any case, the XLCH is a stripped-down lighter and faster version of the XL, with a staggered dual exhaust and peanut gas tank.
The Sportster XLH was the heavier touring version of the Sportster XLCH. In 1972 the Sportster Ironhead 55 cubic-inch (883cc) overhead-valve engine was beefed up to 61 cubic-inch or 1000cc. In 1973 Harley modified the Sportster frame whereby the cast steel connection node at the top rear of the frame (i.e. underneath the saddle) was replaced by a stamped and welded connection.
