I was happy with my 2014 FLS.
Then I read all I could find out about the FLSTC Heritage.
Thinking this one will probably be my last one at my age,
I ordered one.
All the things I need and more.
Standard Features:
Electronic Throttle Control
ABS Brakes
Cruise Control
The only thing I really needed tochange is the mufflers.

I feel like I bought my softail at the worse possible time, like a month before the 2016 models came out.
I could have had cruise control and metal flake purple, which is what I wanted.
Then again, my girlfriend said, "Well the cruise and electronic throttle are just something else to go wrong." Which is true, they went wrong on my previous bike, due to the bad UK weather, but even so, cruise control sure is handy on a long motorway ride. The bike looks a lot cleaner without those double throttle cables too. Maybe next year I'll get a late season deal on a 2016 model, before they introduce those stupid linked brakes across the softail range.

“never say last bike)”
Well, I did say that about all my previous Harley's.

each new bike just has a few more do-dads then the next. is it really worth the stress of now having all the new features. you have a bike, lots of folks don't. put some new parts on your own that will make you happy and enjoy the ride.

Wish I were riding instead of working.
