Anyone know of a source for "new old stock" or good second hand parts for a XLCH I'm endevouring to revive? Mainly cosmetic parts, but also head bearings and probably some gearbox parts.

A Harley Davidson dealer would be my first port ofcall mate. You'd be surprised what you can still get new for those old nails.
Vote David Bain for MNZ president
last year completed a ground up rebuild of an 77 XLCR
Harley Dealers were my last port of call in getting parts - they generally are not interested in anything over about 5 years old
Original cycle parts are best sourced thru:
Flea Bay
Swapmeets
for mechanical electrical general service items:
Use a website in the states for parts www.usatwins.com reliable quick delivery
Motorcycle Storehouse in Holland have an excellent catalogue with loads of parts - if you can find an independant shop whom deals with them.
All my parts come from the states and only takes 4 days for delivery, much cheaper than dealing with harley shops here.
Foghollow is the cheapest by far and have had the the parts i needed
www.foghollow.com or www.archwayintl.com for second hand parts.
I have had parts from J&P Cycles as well, look under parts for your harley.
www.jpcycles.com
And also got parts from Lake shore harley.You need to know part number for this one,
