As disturbing as it sounds the oil filter on the old xlch was a magnet. So while most are not stock (at least in this regard) a dead bone stock ch will not have one, this was to save on weight and complexity) so if you have a xlch that you are restoring to stock or that is stock no and change your oil often otherwise, it could have a screw on filter or a drop in filter in the oil tank. look for either.

What is a 1963 Harley Davidson xlch worth?

This is not an easier answered question. However, in extremely good stock condition; it is worth between $2,750 and $3500. That is going by the retail market as i know it. Realize this is a kicker and electric start did not come out til later. Also, realize that the shifter and the brake are on the opposite sides compared to big twins. They made these like their brtish counterparts; triumph.

It was an 2000 series XLCH. For non-motorcycle people that's a Harley Davidson SportsterActually it was a modern Softail Springer with a Sportster tank and add on parts to make it look vintage(the "kickstart" was connected to the frame):http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/30/harley-Davidson-gets-into-product-placement-in-new-Indiana-Jones/Late model/new Harley Springer Softtail with aftermarket handlebars.

If you look on the underside of the jiffy stand, the pin is held in by a screw. If you remove the screw, the pin drops out (it might need a few taps). You can then remove the stand.

Can you find out the model of a Harley Davidson motorcycle with the serial number?

Prior to 1961On Harley models prior to 1961, the engine number acts as the VIN. This number can be found on the left side engine case. Harley models produced prior to 1969 do not carry any frame number.VIN Numbering Conventions:First two numbers are the model year.Letters (up to four) are the model designation.The last numbers are the production run number.1962 - 1969VIN Numbering Conventions:First two numbers are the model year.Letters (2-4) are the model designation.The last numbers are the production run number.In addition, models with 4 digit production numbers have an even-numbered first digit for even years, odd for odd years.Models containing a 5 digit production number will have the first two digits even for even years, odd for odd years.Why is this important? If the VIN does not follow this even or odd numbering sequence, you can almost guarantee that the VIN has been altered. It is extremely common to find mismatched engines in these early bikes with different VIN numbers than the title paperwork.1970 - 1980Beginning in 1970, Harley started stamping VIN numbers on both the frame and engine case. The exception as noted by our friends at Cyborg Cycles, is the 1979 model. This exception is discussed below.First two numbers are the model code.Next 5 digits, position 3-7 is the production run number.The last 2 digits designate the year.The only legal VIN number for Harley's produced after 1970 is on the frame. NO EXCEPTION! It doesn't matter if the engine case number matches your registration papers, if the frame VIN doesn't match the registration you have a problem! You might be able to fool a few cops or even someone at the DMV, but don't count on it. In addition, it should go without saying that any alteration to the VIN is illegal. This goes for restamping frames or adding the original VIN to a replacement frame. If you replace the frame, you need to have a new VIN assigned to your Harley.Always remember that on models built after 1970, the Harley VIN always follows the frame... not the engine!The infamous 1979 ExceptionDuring the 1979 model run, some Harley's were produced with engine numbers that did not match the frame number. The production date is reported to be from 1/9/79 - 2/7/79, and the frame VIN's affected are 43000H9 through 48199H9. These models had engines numbered with a separate "crankcase number" instead of the frame's VIN. This engine number is reported to be a ten digit numeric ID. Rumor has it that Harley went back to the old numbering sequence once the legal ramifications were realized. Regardless of the engine case number, the title must always match the frame VIN.Thanks to Cyborg Cycles for this information.1981 -2000Beginning in 1981, Harley started using a 17 digit VIN number on the frame and an abbreviated VIN on the engine case. As always, the legal title must match the VIN number on the frame. If the title and frame VIN reads 1HD1ELK12BZ123456, the engine case number should read something like ELKB123456. VIN number rules described under the 1970 - 1980 Harley models also apply here.Harley VIN Model Year DesignationsPrior to 1970 the model year appeared in the last 2 digits of the Harley VIN. From 1970 to 1980 Harley used an alphanumeric year code. The code "H" is followed by the last number of the year (i.e. 1971= H1, 1972= H2). The exception is 1980 which was J0. 1981 to 2000 model big twinsSingle letter in the 10th digit designates the model year.1981 - B 1986 - G 1991 - M 1996 - T 1982 - C 1987 - H 1992 - N 1997 - V 1983 - D 1988 - J 1993 - P 1998 - W 1984 - E 1989 - K 1994 - R 1999 - X 1985 - F 1990 - L 1995 - S 2000 - YHarley VIN Model CodesBig TwinsAs if things weren't confusing enough, Big Twin's have a different set of model designations in the Harley VIN depending on whether they are a 4 speed or 5 speed model.1970 thru 1980 4 Speed Big TwinThe first 2 digits of the Harley big twin's VIN digits are the model code.1A = FL/FLP 1200 2F = FXS 1200 5H = FLHS - 80 7H = FLH 1200 Police 1H = FXB - 80 2H = CLE - 80 6E = FXEF - 80 8H = FLH 1200 Shrine 1K = FLH - 80 shrine 3G = FLH - 80 6G = FXE - 80 9D = FXE 1200 2A = FLH 1200 3H = FLH - 80 Classic 6H = FL - 80 9G = FXWG - 80 2C = FX 1200 5E = FXEF 1200 7G = FXS - 80 9H = FLH - 80 PoliceExample: 3G12345H1 is an FLH1980 5 Speed Big TwinHarley 1980 5 Speed's used code 5G1981 thru 1985 4 Speed Big TwinThe 5th and 6th digits designate the model code.AA = FLH - 80 AL = FLH - 80 BE = FXWG - 80 AB = 80 police chain BA = FXE - 80 BF = FXSB - 80 AC = FLH - 80 Shrine chain BB = FXEF - 80 BH = FXST AH = FLHP - 80 Police Belt BC = FXS - 80 BG = FXDG - 80 AK = FLHS - 80 BD = FXB - 80 BK = FXSTCExample: 1HD1BEK11BY123456 is a FXWG1981 5 Speed Harley Big TwinThe 5th and 6th digits designate the model code.AE= FLT AF= FLTCExample: 1HD1AFK11BY123456 is a FLTC1982 thru 2002 5 Speed Big TwinsThe 5th and 6th digits designate the model code.BH = FXST DJ = FLHTC FE = FLTCU-I BJ = FLSTC DK = FLTC Shrine FF = FLHTC-I BK = FXSTC DM = FLTCU FG = FLHTCU-I W/SC BL = FXSTS DP = FLHTCU FH = FLHP-I Police BM = FLSTF EA = FXR FJ = FLHP Police BN = FLSTN EB = FXRS FL = FLHTCU-I Shrine BP = FXSTSB EC = FXRT FM = FLHTP-I Police BR = FLSTS ED = FXRP Police windshield FP = FLTR BS = FXSTD EF = FXRP Police Fairing FR = FLHRC-I BT = FXSTB EG = FXRS-SP FS = FLTR-I DA = FLT 82 - 83 EH = FXRD FT = FLHPE-I (California) DA = FLHTP Police Windshield EJ = FXRC GA = FXDB-D DB = FLTC EK = FXRP Police C.H.P.
