I just scored this '58 XL, Top to bottom, nut and bolt resto. some of the finest work I've seen. The guy I got it from had some hard times and needed to get rid of his bikes. I also scored a '71 XLCH in the package deal. the 71 is a fresh rebuild with copper plated tin. not my first choice, but some people seem to like it, I've got the '71 sold and plan to keep the '58.

Bet they didn't come cheap. That guy does great work, I only dream of a score like that, but of course I hardly paid anything in my dream

Nice looking bikes. It would seem you'd kinda hate to take them out on the road!

I sold the copper '71 to a friend, I ride the '58 on perfect days, (not many in Michigan) then end up with a good hour of cleanup after my ride. Bleach white on the grips and pegs, and Mothers on the cases and drums. sucks, but worth the effort.
