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.

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.

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.

I wasn't suggesting that YOU were looking for something to complain about, WTF!!

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 .
