Magneto Sportster's 1964 XLH restoration

Postby Magneto Sportster » Tue Feb 04, 2020 12:05 am

I began restoring my 1964 XLH about 8 years ago, but after repainting the frame and sending the motor out to be rebuilt, I got sidetracked with other Sportster projects and this one sat in the corner of my laundry room. My 2020 New Year's resolution was to finish this project and get it back on the road where it belongs!

A buddy helped me move it to my new house, and I got to work. I hope you enjoy the photos, and if you do I will post more as progress continues!
