 +==== Rear mounts ====
 +
 +All bikes, 1966 and earlier, use the 4 hole mount and the cases also have 4 holes. \\
 +All 1966 and earlier bikes were kick start only. One mount and one case configuration covered all models. \\
 +In 1967, the first electric XLH came out and to fit the starter, the cases and the mount were changed from 4 bolt to 2 bolt on XLH only. \\
 +XLCH still used the old 4 bolt cases and mount through 1969. \\
 +Then there were two mounts and two case sets, one each for 1967-1976 XLH and 1967-1969 XLCH. \\
 +In 1970, the old 4 bolt cases/​mounts were dropped completely and the XLCH was redesigned. \\
 +It was now based on the electric start bike, with the starter removed and a kicker fitted instead. \\
 +This is how the 1970-1976 XLCH is built (as a stripped down XLH rather than the old traditional kick only design). ((Dr Dick of the XLFORUM http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​p=5381546&​highlight=xlh#​post5381546)) \\
