Default Welcome me back to the team

Last week my RK was totaled (see thread in general conv) and granted, Im not riding for a while due to a back injury I received in the event.. BUT if I wait Im gonna get gun shy so I bought a new bike to replace my RK.


I just purchased a 2017 Heritage (It's my 3rd one, I had a 92, then an 04). Its black and gold 2tone. I have it coming with the removeable bags and sissybar, Nostalgic air cleaner cover, grips and mirrors. Windshield bag, engine guards, etc.. Oh, smoothies with white walls..


Ill have it in a few days, it needs to be built and they'll deliver it. Even if I look at it for a few months, itll make me happy.


Once I start riding, I'll add true duals with fishtails. Keep y'all posted..

Sounds sweet! Can't wait to see it, but then, I'm partial to the Deluxe.

I'll be interested to see your impression of the sound of the true duals. I'm considering those too.

IHA d true duals (Samsons) on my 04. They look GREAT, the sound is a little bit hollow and I think I lost some bottom end but not much if any.


I was debating btw the Deluxe and the Heritage. I couldn't see spending a grand extra for the Deluxe, then adding a real passenger seat and bags and shield. I took the route of detachable on the Heritage.. I LOVE the Deluxe thou..
