HOPEFULLY, I’ll have mine within a few weeks.
Thanks to Mr. Hulkss again, for posting extremely helpful information.
I ordered mine without their logo. They were okay with that, no problem what’s so ever.




Those wheels look great - please show a pic after you install them. And those rotors!!

Default TallBoy Handlebars

I was wondering if any of the other taller riders here have the Tallboy handlebars...I didn't find anything obvious in the search. I just bought my 18 FLHCS and it already had the Tallboy seat on it, which on the showroom floor gave me the feeling of a lot more legroom. However, now that I've ridden it a hundred miles or so, I feel like I am leaning too far to the stock bars with how much further back the seat is. I am still getting used to the riding position...I had a Bonneville before and it was obviously a way different riding position lol.

Sorry T. Just saw your question - don't know how I missed it. After buying the 2018 Heritage, I thought moving into a bigger and "better" bike would suit me. I had several before the Heritage but that was my first Harley. I got a good deal on my trade in for the RK and after about 3 months or so, I realized I had made a huge mistake. The RK was just not a good fit for me in many ways. I met with the manager at the dealership, we came to an agreement and I got the 2019, 114. Yes, it was an expensive learning lesson but I could not be happier with the decision to get the Heritage again. If I start to look at another bike within the next year or so, I hope somebody slaps me aside the head! You know, that new Pan America looks pretty good......................

Good luck - I went through a learning curve but the Heritage is a great all around bike. Perfect fit for me and lots of stuff out there to customize it and have fun.

What size and brand of windshield did you end up going with? I saw in a previous post you are 6'4"; I am 6'2" and the stock windshield hardly comes to my chin. I'm thinking of going up a 20. I measured the stock at 17.5"

I modified a set that came off a Road King. Part Number: 57400146A.

IMO these look way better than the JES and are considerably cheaper. And most importantly, they block the updraft coming from under the handlebars. NO MORE HELMET BUFFETING!

You might want to consider those pullback risers. Lot of tall guys use them...

Congrats on the Heritage you will love it. I was riding my 2019 yesterday and there were extreme wind gusts. I was just rippin the back roads running in higher RPM's and the roar of my Rineharts and the wind was just totally awesome. Sounded and felt like you were driving a Locomotive. I had the biggest grim under my helmet.

Enjoy your bike!!

Yeah, I've never been a big fan of Adventure Bikes due to the height
(and I'm fairly short), but the 150hp really has my attention. So does
the active height change (for stoplights I assume) on the Special version.

I have an "off brand" supposedly cruiser type bike with 155hp and I can tell
you its a real blast to ride - probably more than I need, but it is fun as long
as the idiot controlling the throttle doesn't get too crazy....

I know the purists will hate it, but I can see the RevMax becoming
the new powerplant for the Sportster line.
