FYI - 2017 Heritage Classic
Just an FYI. First off, I'm not sure if my 2017 Heritage Classic is an oddball or if others have a similar situation. Here's the thing. I just did my stage one upgrade over the weekend. I pulled my original pipes and after I wrapped them up to save them I went back to the bike and saw a significant wear mark on one of my oil lines. Apparently the oil line being somewhat flexible was rubbing either on the pipe itself or the heat shield or heat shield clamp. I have about 8000 on the bike, but the way it looks, another few thousand and it could possibly start leaking. Just a heads up that you might want to look at.
I would have put a picture up, but since Photobucket changed I haven't got a new source yet.

oil line
It is the outside line in between the two mild bends. If you message me an email address I'll send you a picture and maybe you can post it.

Here's a picture from a guy I was talking to on Facebook. This is his stock.
I'm sure you can find other info about posting a pix, but simply take a photo with your cell phone or digital camera. Then just copy to your computer, using a USB cable, to a picture file. Then all you do is click on the PIX icon (next to the Smiley) in the tools line above your reply and drag and drop from the picture folder. No special photo program needed.
Hope this is of some help.

Maybe, but the new pipes took care of any of my rubbing. I just posted to give others a heads up. Thanks.
