Charlie, I've never had a Sportster but the question re tin versus aluminium outers had me intrigued. The eBay link below shows a 1969 XLCH with a tin outer primary and I think the 1970 XLCH had the aluminium outer. But I don't know about compatability of crankcases for your 1961 model.     Eric

Thanks for all the come-backs.From what I have gathered; I can use any XLCH left case from 1957-1965.I want the no battery look.Thanks again and keep me in mind if anyone runs up on a left case or set of cases this vintage.Charlie
