This Classic, acing Harley is thesecondyear of the Ironhead OHC and the first year of the high compression, ompetition Hot racing model. Only 239 were produced for a number of California dealers that had requested a stripped down racer. It is the only year that the CH would have been stripped down for competition deleting the headlight, peedo, ad a bobbed rear fender etc. This bike has been stored dry for 26 years and started 2nd kick after dehibernation. I have found the bottom of the internet sourcing sales brochures, arts books and owners handbook info that I will include copies of with this sale.
