i have never heard of a xlt,but have heard of a sportster touring..it sounds rite..the touring sportster was the first electric start sporty 67-70..the only electric 900.i had several dealers tell me it never existed..thought it went away in 70.i pieced a bike togeather once and had to find a primary cover for one..paid $150 13 years ago,have only seen one cover since..i would restore..it would probaly bring enough money to build two(or a 1 really nice)bobbers..or better yet,keep it,they arnt making any more antique bikes

i keep hearing to do the resto....looks like thats what im gonna wind up doing. i was at a HD dealer today and i ran it by them and they never heard of it. that make me think that it is pretty rare, but gonna be a pain in the a$% to find parts. my problem is that im like a little kid and i wanna do things right now...lol i guess i'm gonna have to get over it.
Ironheads are not hard to find parts for, you still have the tank and I've seen the bags, seat and windshield for sale on ebay. I found a beautiful stock seat for my 75 XLCH on ebay and didn't pay a fortune for it. The XLT Looks like the same thing as an XL with the tank, bags and windshield. But the cool thing is you've got the VIN to prove it's an XLT.

Hey Mike, there's a guy over on the XLF that has an XLT all refurbished, check it out, his screen name is ericfreeman.

Oh, the other thing I should mention is that you should jump over to the ironhead section here too. A lot of the guys from the XLF hang out there as well.

Is your bike like the one pictured? I have a set of bags and a superglide/sprint tank that look like the ones in the photo. I do not know if the bags are Harley or aftermarket though. Man I love those pipes! To get any help from a dealer, you will have to find one thats been around for a while, like from the early seventies. Congrats on your find!
