Fellow Travellers,

I'm looking for a lot of stock parts for the 61 XLH I'm restoring. Where ever possible, I want to use correct year OEM. I have a parts list on the way and will add the HD part numbers later. I know a source for some of this stuff already (you can find anything if you are willing to pay). I'm not looking for a steal, but I'd prefer not to be robbed, either. If you know of a good source, let me know.

Please let me know if you have any parts that are correct for this model.

Parts I need include, but are not limited to: [ul][*]Speedometer (no tach on this model).[*]Headlight nacelle (it's steel no matter what anyone says. The aluminum ones came later).[*]Headlight.[*]Rear XLH fender with flair[*]Front wheel (I forget what they call it, but I need the half-brake model, not the full drum).[*]Rear wheel, drum, and brakes[*]'61 tank emblems. (Hey, it can't hurt to ask. Have repros on it now)[*]HD carb and air cleaner[*]Turtle tank (I have one, but would like another)[*]Bags, bars, windshield (I gave all this stuff away in the seventies--I've had this bike since '69).[/ul]Will pay cash. I also have stuff I'm willing to trade.

 

Heres a couple of sites that might help.
I have some fender struts, and exhaust header pipe and one of the intregated dual mufflers from '68. I was going to build a replica "Then Came Bronson Sportster".
