1977 HD XLCR

[Freqman1]

My latest addition to my HD herd! Technically made three years (‘77-‘79) but in ‘79 they only made nine of them. I always wanted one of these-I like different!

Always loved that model. I started riding in 78 and have built a long string of cafe racers over the years so I had a weak spot for that look from day one. ( see my avatar! ) I always thought the CR deserved to do better, but its performance wasn’t up to cafe racer standards and those were the dark years of AMF, so quality wasn’t what it should have been, especially at Harley prices. I have some terrible memories of an ‘80 Superglide a friend owned, Harley should have been properly ashamed!

Still.. by now all of the AMF demons should have been extricated and you should have a lot of happy miles ahead of you on that lovely rare beastie... enjoy! It looks beautiful!

Looks original down to the black mirrors. Nice score.

A couple of small things to correct along with a full service and I should be ready for summer!

Got to give a shout out to Ed @catfish for taking a look at this bike personally as well as sending me videos. That gave me peace of mind going forward with the purchase! V/r Shawn

When I worked for Arlen I would always take my breaks in his museum and drool over his bikes,one being a super mint 77 XLCR.

NICE!! Looks in really good condition! My oldest HD was a '77, but a FLH. Have fun with the XLCR!
