David's 1969 XLH Sportster

.

David's  XLH crossed the 70's without being "chopperised". Everything is time options. In 1969 the catalogue firm offered the peanut tank from XLCH (instead of the big turtle tank) it also carries fancier trim with a large polished headlight nacelle

The Harley-Davidson XLH Sportster was Harley's "luxury" model for the Sportster line. For 1967, Sportsters offered the electric starter introduced on Big Twins two years earlier. However, it was only available on the XLH version; the sportier XLCH stuck with a kick starter, which remained on the XLH as a back-up to the electric leg.
