Description:
Harley Davidson Xls 4-Speed Sportster Roadster, 1979, Iron head, The first Xls (S for special) took some design cues from the Low Rider which made a point of accommodating the pilot's better half, although the pillion mount was still sub-standard and ran the risk of attracting a class action. This did not, however, distract the design team away from its core responsibility to the rider which had the standard power plant delivering a 14.26 seconds quarter mile drag (excluding the missus). As with many Harleys, the culture of the bike invited all manner of customisation. Factory options included nine-spoke alloy or classic wire wheels. The other extras displayed on this example were acquired via Harley-Davidson's ever-growing accessories catalogue. This particular machine reflects this and it is likely that a certain amount of work was completed by New Zealand's Iron Head Sportster Ltd.
