I have a black 2016 heritage as well. I absolutely LOVE it.

I'm trying to decide if I want black engine guards and bag guards or chrome. I'm torn.

Nice, Heritage is always a good choice. I see HD staying with that front hubcap. Never understood the hubcap thing.

Like my new '16 white and teal, especially the improved brakes and cruise. But I don't like the stiff, ratchetty throttle. Now matter what I do I can not get it to turn smoothly. Also seems like I have to turn it an 1/8 inch before anything happens. Hard to get used to when I get off the Blackline that is so responsive to throttle changes.

Cobalt 7 sounds like the throttle assembly on the handlebars needs lubed and adjusted. I'm having no throttle probs with my new '16 Deluxe. The hardest thing that I'm having to get used to is the stock hand grips. I feel a change is coming on.
