hi rodger, just stumbled across this site. i also own a heritage, 619 to be exact. i bought mine in 97, i have only seen two
since i bought it. never even seen one at the 100th. they are super cool and get alot of attention. i have had my motor rebuilt twice
the last time i had everything done. im currently runnin synthetic oil, look forward to hearing from you and others with the heritage.

 

That is truly a sweet machine! I have a Harley Davidson trading card with this bike on it. It is series #3, card#239. The reverse side of the card says:

1981 FLH-80
Heritage Edition

The unusual olive green and orange paint scheme harkens back to the early days of motorcycling, when the original color of Harleys was olive green for nearly 30 years.

Production: 784
Powerplant: 80 CI V-twin
Features: Fringed Leather saddlebags
List Price: $7,067

 

Hi all,
I'm Ray, and I've also got an 81 Heritage. I picked it up about 8 years ago, half disassembled in the back of a shop. Runs great, but some items, aren't "correct". It has a dry/belt drive primary and a belt final drive. I also don't have an original seat, luggage rack, point cover and derby cover. All else is original. For now, until I can round up those parts, I've got aftermarket tins on it, with the original stuff mounted on the shop wall. Good to know there's a group that appreciates these bikes.

Hi
Have an FLH 80 Heritage Edition, had it for about 4 years, put it back to 99% original condition. Just sold it to a collector in Italy. Loved it, best bike I've ever had. Check it out on my website www.classicharleys.co.uk Cheers.

 

Hello , I bought my Heritage new in '81. I only have 1345 miles as we speak. Just wanted to join in.

 

I also have an '81 Heritage. It is original as far as I can tell, stock exhaust is in the garage.. I had no idea this bike was so rare. It has the original paint in good condition.. I need to swap out the Tins as I am going to ride this thing...

Drop me a line I will join your yahoo group..
