Finally did it!

I traded my 2009 Ultra Classic for a 2020 Heritage 114. I had been thinking about this for a while. My knees are not what they used to be and I came close to dropping the Ultra a few times while backing it up this year. One ride on a Heritage was all it took! The Ultra was a nice bike...a solid Stage 2, Super Shox, Metzlers, bars, sound system etc. I think the only mods for the Heritage will be DK floorboard relocation brackets, grips and the seat. A few things are coming off- front reflectors and the front hubcap. That's all! I may go with American Custom Exhaust down the road as I do like the looks of the stock mufflers and an SE tuner. Realistically, I never used all the power that the 96 TC Stage 2 had and have been more than happy with the bone-stock 114. I am not feeling the need to change things just because I can.

Nice, important thing is your mind and the bike.
Heh, you know what they say, 'no photos, it didnt happen'.

Congrats on your new ride. I did the same. Went from a '11 Limited to a '18 Heritage. It's just a great bike.

Congrats I too went from a 2010 Ultra to a 2020 Heritage 114 and i find it a lot easier to handle although i loved the Ultra for the last 10 yrs it was like driving a UPS truck compared to the Heritage im looking forward to having this bike a long time.
