New guy
Hello, I recently became an ironhead owner.
Since I acquired my ironhead I've gotten a lot of useful information related to problems and solutions from this website. Big thanks to all the ironhead homies that post on this site, good info here for sure.
My Ironhead is a 1981 sportster XLH 1000 with 30k and I picked her up for 1,500
in the NJ area
Below is a picture from the first test ride after getting it running

Howdy and welcome. Good pick on the year in my personal opinion. Runs a oil cooler to.
Grinned about the battery tie down. Wonder about the motor numbers though. But I guess they changed how they did it vs my 1980 engine VIN.
Edit: Oil filter setup is the same as my 1980 though.

Welcome to the XLForum. Thanks for posting a picture of your ride. We love pictures.
(But, can you reduce the size to 1000px wide or less? That would make it fit better. TIA!)
This is THE BEST Sportster Resource!
Take a minute and please put at least your state/country in the LOCATION FIELD of your profile so we can better help you when you need it - Your climate, temps & altitude can make a difference to suggested fixes... ( the STATE FIELD does not show on posts so you need to use the LOCATION FIELD)...
CLICK HERE - then scroll down to 'Additional Information' and look for the field labeled 'LOCATION' - put your information in there - It will then show on each post you make... Look for this:
There are various sections to the XLForum - You can pick a section that is related to your problem/info, open that section and read the sticky threads on the first page - Then post your comment in an existing thread or create a new one to get information for your specific question... For new threads, make the title specific to your problem or info...
This is the index of sections: http://xlforum.net/forums/index.php
Be sure to read some/many of the FAQ/HowTo threads (including how-to post pictures) here:
http://xlforum.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=16
