How many miles on the bike? It looks almost 100% original right down to the hand grips except for the slip on mufflers (look like Samson) and the tassels on the clutch/brake levers. I bet you did pretty well on it. Got the H-D windshield bag and the low profile smoked windshield too.
You might look into some saddlebag stiffeners to keep the bags in good shape.

Other than that for a bike of it's age it's super clean.
We were supposed to be in the pigeon forge area this week but life hit us in the face and we couldn't go...

Only 10500 miles on the bike. It's my only bike right now so I'll be doing some miles on it. The bike is in good shape but it needs some odds and ends stuff. The rubber oring on the shift linkage is dry rotted and I've caught the throttle sticking once. Not sure if the cables need lubed, as I'm used to Teflon ones. My low beams are also out. No low beam, they worked like a day ago but high still comes on. Spot lights don't come on either so maybe a switch or short? Any ideas? Will also change oil, brake fluid flush.

Just an idea...check your fuse for the lights. Harley wires the spots into the low beam circuit which can result in an overload. Gtmalone, our resident tech wiz, has a write up on the Heritage Springer site about how to move the spots to the auxiliary circuit. Takes care of the blown fuses and allows the spots to work with the high beam on.
Thank you I'll have to sign up later

The way they were wired from the factory, the passing lamps won't stay on with the high beams. See if they come on when you turn the high beams off.
I hooked my passing lamp switch up to the blue wire that feeds the front fendertip light. hat way they will stay on with the high beams and I can use the switch to turn them off.

Cool looking bike. Welcome to Evo Classic World. Lots of folks here with tons of knowledge they are willing to share. They are a bit slow on teaching the secret handshake but hey, they have been a great help in keeping my bike running.
