Default Twisted Cherry, A light Review

The Heritage is probably the best "bang for the buck" new Harley in my opinion for obvious reasons.

You just look forward to riding it more than the other bikes and I have six.

Effortless through town traffic
Planted like a sport bike in Mountain turns
Cruises like a touring bike on the straights
Suspension feel is plush and never harsh
Feels like it can handle fully loaded touring better than the touring chassis bikes (strong frame)
bumps in turns are welcome now
brakes are great
no chugging idle or off idle feel
doesnt feel over "heavy" like Limited but just as capable and more fun every day
You just Want to ride it more!!!

One of the things that I like about the redesigned bikes for '18 is that they relocated the coils.

That's the fender that should be on the Fatboy.

So you're 5 posts in and slamming other people for having a different opinion than yours as "having problems".

What a douche-nozzle.

I would have gone with the slightly less direct "that is their problem" ...but the gist is still essentially the same. I have read most of the posts and do not understand why people are being so critical. Few keep bikes stock anyway...

So, there's plenty of douche-nozzling going on the "other side" too...it is an internet forum. All in all, everything is going as I expected. Criticism of the bike until people start posting pictures of their 2018 bikes and then the "congrats" and "great looking bike" come out.

While it was fun for a while and I will likely continue to read the posts on the '18s, it will be nice when it blows over too.

To the OP, it's a nice looking bike. As you own it please continue to review what you like and dislike.

Looks pretty damned good to me.
Put a black Thunderheader on it & call it a day.
