Calling all Heritage owners...
Would you guys and gals that have them trade or purchase "up" to an updated version to get another Heritage? My current one is an '07 with the 96 motor with what I think is low miles for her age (getting ready to hit 17,900). Every one is saying get the Stage 1 (which I will eventually) and throw some cams in it to open her up. I have a laundry list of stuff I wanted to put on her to make her more mine, or just see what she transforms into.
Is the updated versions with the bigger motor that much better to make the jump? Anyone take one for a ride and get their hair blown back, or was it just a "meh" moment, meaning you could do with out it to keep yours? I keep getting that feeling inside to keep her and start throwing things into her. I also know I have a touch of OCD when it comes to these things and I won't get it out of my head until I scratched that "itch" that's bouncing around inside my noggin'....
On a side note...not poking the bear...I've noticed that in my geographic location I very rarely see anything other than SG's or Ultras coming through. People with Softie's are definitely a rare breed.

Personally I would never look to the MoCo to get more power. If you are looking to enhance your experience but keep the same model, you should do it yourself with your ride. Stock is stock, no matter the year. To trade up, you need to give up whatever you have and start over. If your *** likes the seat, make it yours. That is what Harley is all about.

The primary reason I bought a Heritage was that I loved the look.
Whether it's a 1986 or a 2015 the look remains classicly the same.
Sure there are differences from year to year but as one flies by it's difficult to pic the year of that bike.
If you just want a new bike that's one thing but unless you want specifically ABS I don't think the cost is worth going from a 2007 to a 2015.
Also as I pull up next to a 2015 Heritage I have to smile.
Not because I love the 2015 but rather because my ride is paid for.

I have a 2013. Love the bike. Only thing I would gain is ABS. Not worth it to trade up for me.
Though Im looking at adding a Road King.
The wife and I have rode our Heritage all over Colorado and up to Sturgis last year. Very comfortable. We get lot's of compliments on the bike due to the dark blue color. Im looking forward to whitewalls when the stock Dunlops are run out.
We just moved to central Florida last month and are looking forward to exploring all of the state. The wife is wanting to find all the seafood restaurants.
I did my on stage one with the Vance and Hines Straight Shots slip-on's, Arlen Ness Big Sucker stage II, Vance and Hines fuelpak 3. Works well for me.
