Thumbs up Opinions on the Updated 2016 Softail Models

I was happy with my 2014 FLS.
Then I read all I could find out about the FLSTC Heritage.
Thinking this one will probably be my last one at my age,
I ordered one.
All the things I need and more.
Standard Features:
Electronic Throttle Control
ABS Brakes
Cruise Control


The only thing I really needed tochange is the mufflers.

I love my Heritage, but cruise control would make it perfect. Enjoy that new bike.

You may be about my age,66 since I have also ordered a 2016 for the cruise.im trading my 2013 for it so I can reuse my rush slip on mufflers and windshield boom box audio.i ordered the teal and crushed ice pearl.nothing better than a good looking Harley,good sounding exhaust,cruise control,and 50's and 60's music as you ride!

My opinion is that you did just fine.

It was the same move that I made.

Apparently the Teal and Crushed Ice is making us older riders open our wallets.



I needed another bike like I needed another hole in my head!

Those are the things that have me considering trading my '13 in on a '16 Slim S.
The 110 motor doesn't hurt either...

I've already discussed on other threads and I don't want drag my personal opinion into a thread where we are welcoming a new softail owner. I am extremely happy with my two softails and plan to keep them as long as I can. Softails Rock
