I would keep the Heritage....!!!

In 2017, I preferred the Heritage to the Deluxe....

I absolutely prefer the '17 Heritage to the '18 Deluxe (M8 & new frame included).

But, it's your opinion that counts... your mind will tell you to stay put, but follow what your heart tells you...

Good choice. I’m happy with my M8 Heritage, but any bike you “love” is a keeper. Happy riding is all that counts.

I have a 16 Heritage that I traded a 14 Street Glide for. I love the 16-17 HSC's! ABS and Cruise and still all the chrome farkle. I don't race either...... Good decision!

Nope you are not...
I can't handle the turn signals (frnt or rear).
A large part of the reason I bought a 17 Deluxe.
