Description of 1987 Sportster replica of the famous mid seventies XLCR:

Upgrades include sturdier 39 mm forks with fork brace, 18" mag wheels, Storz rearsets, Ace handlebars, steering dampener, new Michelin Pilots, new dual HD disk brakes, SuperTrapp 2 into 1 exhaust. The bike rides, turns, stops and sounds like a cafe racer should. Shift pattern has been inverted but comes with parts to switch back to standard. This bike is a close to perfect as you can get once it has been ridden off the showroom floor. This bike has been set up to duplicate the totally trick Nick Ienatsch "Hot-Blooded Harley" featured in the December 1987 issue of Hot Rod magazine. $12,000
