XLCH's with the magneto are very hard to start, esp if the mag is not set up right.
Sporster knee...I remember and saw that.

My dream bike has always been a Shovster, but it's probably a lost art by now.

My consolation prize is a '86 Sporty, still chain drive, four speed and bone stock except for the S&S Super E, that's getting chucked for a SU carb setup when I do the top end this fall.
