    One clean machine! I had a '72 XLCH - first year of the 1000cc motor. I think the seat on the one you're buying is aftermarket.

    Yeah, I just got my dreams squashed by Hot Rider. She won't let me buy it so I guess this is the end.

    Thanks for the relevant information. ;)

    Very true, Ironhorse. My '72 had a slipping clutch (a lot of them did that year) because the motor was upped to 1000cc's. Heard lots of stories about how the kickstart Sporty's wrecked many a knee.

    I couldn't do that to Kim. Although I thought about it for split aecond. I will let this one go and just be depressed. :D I understand what her reasoning is, and she is absolutely right. Oh well there will be others. Who knows, maybe in a year it will still be available. It isn't like I won't know how to find out.

    Heh, Yeah JB,I know what you're saying...I just bought that one the week before but I didn't know how much she liked it....Guess I shoulda asked eh:D
    She was happy with the replacement,but I still heard it every now and then until I sold the shovel...she'd look out the window and say "Yep still there!!":rolleyes:
