Just finished so not sure yet! I am definitely not a "aggressive leaner" heavy on the throttle from light to light, but have a very casual cruising style. Never in a hurry to get anywhere. With stock spacing on the floorboards I found myself always hanging a foot over the floorboard. Its seems now that my entire foot is firmly placed on the floor board. The spacers extend your boards an inch if that helps at all. I chose not to get the shifter spacer. Be safe!
I love my 2018, but your floorboard extensions have me thinking a bit. Moving my footing out a bit may have advantages in keeping my feet away from the hot pipes, engine and the wide primary. I may even think about a lower seat too. Thanks for the input.
Maybe I'll see you around the Fort sometime and we can compare bikes.

I test drove one Saturday with stock exhaust Still can't make up my mind by MondayI love the heritage the way it road but don't know about the vibration I think the stock pipes were worse than the Reinhardt will the iso grips help that much anybody have that problem and the grips drastically improve the ride I am not talking about vibration the buzz that makes your hands tingle after you Ride or just walk away and call it quits

I went from a 2011 Limited to a 2018 Heritage. The more I ride it the more I like it. My biggest adjustment is going to a lighter bike. I'm just used to a heavier bike. But like I said, I really like this bike.

Returned to riding after 22 yrs. Bought a Heritage and after 5k in five months never experienced any hand issues. Some times the more you read on the internet the more you worry. Just get the Heritage. You definitely will not be disappointed.
