Unless the originals tires were part of the deal that the dealer gets to keep them, get your original tires. People buy new bikes then get the dealer to add new things to their new bike before they take delivery and leave all their original parts at the dealer. Unless you ask for the original parts, most dealers will let you ride off without them. Brand new OEM HD parts are worth more than you think.
Most dealers I frequent have a room of stock take off parts that they will sell you. Generally 100% profit.
Some beautiful Heritages, folks...thanks for posting the pics! It only got up to about 40 degrees yesterday but managed to put 55 miles on the new bike. What a great bike!
I had test ridden the Heritage several times over the past year or so, but yesterday was obviously the most time I've spent "bonding" with the back.
Me and a bud who has a built 03 FB went out and did a nice mix of riding..twisties and a little slab. The bike felt so damned composed at highway speed, so much moreso than my 1200C. Felt great in the twisties, too...really balanced and planted.
Heading out with the girl later...51 and bright sunshine today!
