Traded my 16 Street glide special for 2020 Heritage 114 last November. Couldn't be happier 10,000 miles later.

After a little time, I'm still as enthusiastic as I was. This is easily the best riding, best handling bike that I have ever had. I do miss the larger saddlebags, but that forces me to think about what I need rather than put lots of unnecessary stuff in them. I have picked up a bluetooth helmet so I can have music...on this and my shovelhead.

I may be interested. I have picked up Mustang solo touring seat, but I am not 100% happy with it. What is the riding position vs stock? I am tall so I can't move closer to the bars unless it raises me up too.

Congrats on the new ride. Wife just bought one of the new Softails and the ride quality is night and day from my 07 Softail rear suspension.

Did the same only downside is the luggage capacity but life is all about compromises, the Heritage is a great bike, I had to change the seat to a Harley Hammock and a taster screen now it fits so I can ride long days in the saddle]without any problems.
