I was at the dealer this morning buying everything for an oil change on my 2003 Heritage. I noticed the new Heritage on the floor and began to look at it. Still a great looking bike, but the badges on the front fender caught my eye. They look like ****. When did Harley shrink them down to what looks like half the size that our on my 03'? Then i looked at the Road King, sure enough, same shitty little badge, thats much smaller than what used to be there. Not only are they smaller but just look cheap.
I know thats super picky, but is that really where Moco needs to cut back? Harley's fit and finish is second to none, and for $20,000 on a new one it should be.
No offense to anyone with a newer sled, believe me, I'm envious of the larger engine, and other improvements. Just wondered what others thought about it or if anyone else thought they looked strange compared to the older lettering.
