1978XLH

1952年デビューのModel K（750ｃｃ）から続いたKフレーム 1978年で最終年式です。

I had a 1977 XLH, bought it new and rode it for 16 yrs. I installed a kicker so i had both kick and electric start. Blew up the trans and clutch so I installed Andrew's gears and a Barnett racing clutch and 17T counter shaft sprocket. Rebuilt the top end twice. The bike was pretty quick back in the day. After 16 yrs I sold it to a kid who wrecked it within a month.

It's a wonderful iron sports life.
I had Andrews' Y cam in it.
This is a fast bike, isn't it?

@@ka-nokikko4152 My sporty wasnt as fast as the Japanese sport bikes but it was fast enough for me.

I don't remember them coming with dual discs up front

[@kmfmc246]

It is a dual disc from the last model year in the K frame.

[@DFox-ud3gx]

Doesn't look like Amercia to me?

[@davidmacgregor5193]

That's because it's Japan, didn't you notice the cars are driving on the left hand side of the road?
