My 66 XLCH Sportster didn’t have a battery.
The CH stands for Charley Horse, as the saying goes.
I never had any trouble kick-starting Harleys, but I don’t weigh 130 lbs, either.
“My 66 XLCH Sportster didn’t have a battery.”
Neither did my 69 Bonnyville. Always started first stroke on the pedal.
Neither did my ‘65 XLCH, those were “man’s motorcycles”.
