Seat
Not looking for a reason, the fact is they suck. what can you fit in them? put rain gear in one bag & the dam thing is full & bulging to the point the lock mechanism wont hold, that push down button is garbage. so you had to take your wife`s bag into a restaurant to fix & then you ask what the problem is with them. WTF!!!!! Oh and give it time they will leak right around that lock mechanism, every one I know who has came to my shop has bitched about it, might take time but they will leak, I tell them to come on here & look up the "plugs" the one poster listed that goes over the Lock to prevent the water puddling & leaking.
Tmac00333 - Throw a bag on the sissy bar...... guess you dont tour with wife? Yes I tour on a Heritage & for a hot minute - if everyone remembers HD listed the Heritage in the touring section
If you ride alone & carry very little then the Heritage bags will be fine but honestly the older style bags (not my favorites) hold more, will last longer & fit the nostalgia of what the Heritage line was meant to look like. Now I am starting to like what I see in the 25 Heritage with the tube less rims - (guys bitched about the spokes cause they feared long rides/tours & possible flats but a saddlebag that a gerbil will fill is ok???
The 25 Heritage will need all the upgrades the previous version needed other than the shock - maybe??? The seat sucks & passenger pillion is a pancake of steel that will cause an azz to throb after 10 minutes of riding, The bags......... enough said about those, the exhaust im not sure about? overall I like the changes but the bags, seat & that god awful tank badge would be removed & discarded. JMHO

And it's largely because you cant get popped in the mouth for shooting off some **** you wouldnt say in person.
This forum isn't too bad, it's mostly the people who "boohoo harley didnt do what I want" kind of stuff, but people usually warm up to it.
I remember when the M8 fat boy first came out and I was "ew wtf is that head lamp" and well... Now you see I own one, lol.
There's been very few people here I have found to be genuinely distasteful and unwilling to interact with them. There have definitely been forums I have been on where the user base is so abrasive and ******* filled that I'd rather just go anywhere else. Places where even the mod team cant see they've got their heads so far up their *** they dont even smell **** anymore.
HDF is pretty meh.
You wanna see some real butt hurt over disagreement? I've been in many motorcycle communities online where the mere mention of a harley seems to ruin someone's fragile ****ing day like oh god how dare I mention a motorcycle brand! As if Willie G himself kicked their dog. Like yall its a ****in motorcycle, calm the **** down.
You wont believe the sheer amount of stupids out there I have had the unfortunate problem of having to interact with them, who genuinely think every single harley ever costs $50K and breaks down after 10miles.
This forum is pretty tame in most regards.

Tantrums and tiaras. You learn who throws them, who wears them, and then adjust accordingly.
No lack of the same stuff on that "other" forum. Go ahead and suggest a different way of turning a bike than countersteering it, or that track racing doesn't make you the best bike rider to ever exist.

Misinterpreted keyboard commandos have started many electronic pissing matches this way, and I'm not an exception. Sometimes my fingers don't "say" the words the same way my inner monologue hears them.

I didn't take the bag into the restaurant. I took the latch in and fixed it, then went out and put back on. Wasn't a big deal and it's been fine ever since. Maybe it will leak someday, but so far it hasn't, and we've been in some pretty big rainstorms.

Here's a nice Honda hatchback for sale. Plenty of room for wife's luggage.

I've rode several weekend trips on mine have no problems with the stock seat and my wife doesn't either. Like I said before the bags are a perfect size for me . The only other bike I had with bags was a Dyna and they were very small. After finally getting used to the high frequency vibration the Heritage is about perfect . It has more leg room than most of the baggers and can cruise all day long at 80-90 MPH . I'm used to bikes with minimal storage so what the Heritage offers is way more than enough for me .
Any way - different strokes for different folks - gotta keep what I got for a while. But............... I am coming around to liking just wish the accessories would catch up!
