You guys are seriously messing with my head.


I think Harley must have made all the first Heritages off the line in that Rustoleum red color. Every one I've seen so far is that color.


It might be a sacrilege to some, but I also think that bike would look cool with some wide whitewall tires on those black wheels.

I think it's just the undercoat primer before they apply the real paint...so in a sense every bike is my color

Congrats on the new bike. I'm starting to soften to the new Softail. Trying to justify 3 bikes to myself now.

I had a Schwinn that color, a Honda 550, and a 69 Super-Bee (well it was red, but had the rust red primer on the R/H Qtr Pnl & part of the door
Typical teenagers car (When daddy doesn't by you a "beemer" )

Rustoleum baby !!!! $8.99 per can @ OSH

I feel like getting past owning two bikes was a burden I was willing to bear...and then there was no turning back!! Use caution!

Simple solutions are often the best! I have similar memories of this color and this bike is like a spinal tap right to heart of them.

Congrats on the new ride. The 2018 heritage is a great looking bike and it dam sure will run. Take a good close look at one today . It has a throw back to the 50's look to it but still a modern bike.
Puts that carp Indian is putting out to shame.

I agree. I was surprised when some people were complaining this bike looked too modern. There are some details that are absent, I'll always miss the ignition switch - the passing lamp toggle - exposed oil line - but this styling really captures the FL I saw growing up.

I'm sure someone is going to strip one down and bob it. I'll be curious to see what that looks like. They perform well and still haven't lost their magic.

Congrads. The Heritage 114 is a fine bike.
