So as I sit broken and recovering without a bike and unable to ride, looking at my next bike option and colors here’s three I put together one handed with my non dominant hand so forgive how rough they look.... tried totally blacked out but they all seemed to lose something... I’m leaning towards Rawhide...

I’ve always had some version of a blue bike, rawhide seems to be the only other color I like, and with 8 more weeks until I can ride I may wait to see what 21 colors offer... just got good prices on those three at the moment...

Although I'm usually partial to blue (and I went with blue), I will say the "rawhide" color looks much better in person than it does in pictures.

I believe so as well, I’m thinking partial blackout with brass accents...

I went down to buy the Heritage and walked by the FLFBS and my mind modded it before purchase and thats what I left with.
A year later I wish I would had stuck with what I intended, the Heritage,
Simple reason being those fat tires look good, yes, but wear out at less than 7K miles instead of 10-12K, even the front tire.
Also, the fenders suck, rear fender is squirelly looking, the front doesnt come down far enough to protect the oil cooler.
They are a fun bike, yes, but I want/need something that is durable. My two cents.

I would have waited for my dealer to bring a rawhide in if it had been available in my model year. Sharp color!
