Considering the MSRP when new was $17,820-$18,455 depending on color I would say that is WAY out of line.


OOPs, I read that wrong, thought you were saying dealer was listing your Heritage at that price.........Me bad!

As long as you can afford it, ride the bike you want to ride.

Understand that my definition of "afford it" is "pay cash". If your current bike is paid for, and you have the cash to cover the difference, go for it. I wouldn't ever trade a paid for bike for a payment book.

Nope, just a ton of upgrades on the Rushmore models. Easily Googled...

Slightly off topic but op emphasized completely stock as a plus on the fltru. Funny how we like stock when buying but mods when we own.

After reading about all these shadetree mechanics doing their own wrenching to save a buck, no way would I buy a modded bike.
