That brings back memories. My first Harley was an brand new 1970 XLCH bought just after high school graduation for $997. These were AMF bikes so I had couple of wiring problems right off but nothing serious. Rode that monster across the US and back that summer playing a combination of Easy Rider and Then Came Bronson. The bike was very quick and cornered like a demon on right turns but hated left turns. There was little on the bike that you couldn't adjust or replace with just 4 tools. Wish I still had it but it was stolen in 1973 by some real Hells Angles in San Rafael California.

Good luck with your iron head sporty. Treat it right.
