Ironhead Specs for late 50's/early 60's XLCH

[gingerbeard]

Looking for full specs on the old high pipe "scrambler" type Sportsters. Does anyone here know of a good resource that has things like suspension travel, bike weight, ground clearance, etc ?




Thanks in advance for any help.

There is no difference between the XLCH with the high pipe and those without.
Same frame, same shocks, same wheels, same engine etc, etc.
They just hung that pipe on a couple year models at most.

The pipe is probably the most sought after pipe of any Harley Sportster as they stopped making it decades ago.
There is an aftermarket high pipe being made now but is is awkward looking (in my view) and it is very expensive.

The same guy that makes the repop hi pipe makes repop XLR straight pipes that aren't even close to being right.

Thanks for the information. It figures that I would search for days and find little to no info but make a post here and there it is in one day. Good old XLforum.
