My 1978 XLCR

Hi all ,
some pics of me & my 1978 XLCR. Don't see many of these around here in the U.K. This is my 2nd XLCR, I've always ridden Harleys, from the mid-70's when I had one of the AMF 2 stroke SS125's, through to a Dyna Glide, 2 Fatboys, & an Electra Glide Ultra Classic. I've always loved the XLCR, from seeing pics in a book here in the UK called Super Bikes of the 70's when I was a teenager. That book had things in it such as the Honda CB750, Kawasaki's Z900, Moto Guzzi Le Mans, Laverda Jota & such like, but the book always fell open at the XLCR pages, and I loved it.
This 2nd XLCR was bought by me last Sept., it had been standing a while & hadn't run, it looked quite sorry for itself & needed a bit of TLC. I got it home, & over this Winter I gave it a real good going over, changed all fluids & ignition parts, new brake parts, fuel system parts, fork lowers polished, exhaust re-coated. Paintwork could do with a little attention here & there, but I'll leave that until this riding season is over. I love riding it, and it always draws a crowd when parked up, even if most folk don't know what it is: "That can't be a Harley....... can it??"
Hope you enjoy the pics,
Cheers,
FBB

This is my 2011 Streetglide
I call it Black Sabbath, the paint was done by Bad Ass Paint. It has the 103 ci with stage 1, hydraulic clutch, 250 watt J&M amp with 7 1/4 roccker speakers. It's one of the best rides I've ever driven.

Fat Boy Bass.............you brought back memories with that pristine AMF logo on your bike. They were the worst managers and allowed Willie to buy it back. Willie bettered the HD name and quality. AMF was known for "Another Mal-Function". I am not dissing your bike but knowing that and seeing the great condition it is in....WOW!

My 05 Wide Glide...Well actually a Wide Fat Super Glide
I have the Super Glide tank and console, Fat Bob headlight and pipes, Hawg Halters 4 degree trees, 2" extended forks and Supreme Legends extended controls. I have made several of my own parts, such as the 2-1 exhaust, AC and Derby covers, fork brace, handlebars and all work has been done by myself, with occasional help from friends when an extra set of hands were needed.
Over the winter I had to completely rebuild her due to an unexpected encounter with a deer over Thanksgiving weekend. My son flew in to give me a hand, was great wrenching with him again.

Here are a few pics, you can see more on my site:

I decided get a motor cycle after selling my last one almost 11 years ago and wanted to try my hand at building a custom Harley. So bought a crashed 2006 softail at an auction, a custom softail frame from a guy that knew a guy, and lots of stuff from mail order cataloges and ebay and went to work. I spent a better part of the year building it.

Transmission: 5sp with 1” offset kit
Pipes: Cobra
Seat: custom by Mark Milbrandt
