Been awhile since it was Factory Delivered...Lots of CH's have had electric start added...some by Dealers before they ever got delivered.

race, I looked into the electric foot for mine. 
LOTS had to be changed.  cam cover with notch, sprocket cover with notch
clutch basket, starter and all its stuff
side oil tank and brackets bigger batt, pretty much on and on..

why would a dealer do all this?
he coulda ordered a ch.

Beats me...But, I have seen more than one CH with E-Start....
Maybe later on XLCH didn't Mean that at all...and there was Zero diff between an H and a CH.
O can't Imagine why that would be...
Hell Look at how many FX's were converted to FXE!!!    Easier to find converted ones than Kick only ones!!!!
