I saw the Fatboy V Fatboy thread.
Knowing zero about motorcycles at the end of July, sat on all the bikes the dealer had.
Heritage was last and instantly I knew That was the model I wanted.
Learn as much about Harleys that I could, I found exactly what I wanted at the price I wanted.. Couldn't be happier..
How did you decide one over the other??
Thx

 

For me it was between a RoadKing and a Heritage. Most of my riding will be local with an occasional weekend 2 up trip so the Heritage won. I got a great deal on a 2014 with only 2018 miles on it.

 

1. The Heritage handlebars were a better fit for me. 2. Laced wheels. 3. Came with a larger rear seat and backrest for the wife.

 

I really liked the riding geometry of the RK

 

You can change your heritage to a complete detach system for solo riding. No bags, no rear seat, no windshield. Ya got a near fat bob.
Add rear fender Bibb, add chrome rear fender rack. It's awesome. Rack is handy for carrying beach towel, beer using the cargo net. The heritage can be two bikes in one. The 103 has lots of power.

 

Heritage came with all the goodies ...... the Fat Boy didn`t .

 

I came to RK vs Heritage. Bought them both!!

 

got a super accessorized Fatboy for 25 cents on the dollar.

 

Bags and windshield. I also preferred spokes.

 

I went with the Fatboy because I thought the Fatty Looked sportier. Wasn't a fan of Bags and windshield. Now, 12 years later, I'm looking for a Heritage Front Fender. To be honest, I think the Heritage looks really nice if you start doing some Mod's to it. Love the look of a stripped down Heritage. Said it in another post, there are 3 bikes on this forum that I think are unbelievable....Malingerer's, scootluver's and CountryD's. Check'm out.
