I am currently riding my 2011 Heritage Softail having sold my 2016 Road Glide to buy a car, However I am currently being drawn in to swapping it for a Springer. I have the choice of either a 2000 Red Heritage Springer 88" stage 1 30k (fully serviced with the cam chain tensioners replaced) with all the chrome extras and tassle's one could wish for..... or...... I could have a 2005 Heritage Springer in black with 7k on it and its had a 1550 kit, htd grips and that's about it, no bags no screen or other extras. Sure I could get some bags (at a premium) and some other bits I want, but then again I could spend the same money on engine work on the 2000 model!! At present I am leaning slightly towards the 2000 Red Springer as I can tour pretty much straight away and can do engine mods in winter

Thoughts anyone???

 

for me it boils down to whether I like the Chrome Springer or the black Springer front end the best. the rest of the stuff can be changed kind of easily. me I go with the 2000 get the Chrome Springer.

 

This came home with me this past weekend...'05 springer with S&S 96 big bore kit...runs like a champ!! Now to get a break with these california rain systems...sigh...

 

I had to go look in the shop... thought you took MY springer home....





To the OP...
The Springer front end is obviously the special feature of any Springer model. I think it is more obvious and looks better when chrome.... I vote you get the 2000

 

I like the sound of the red one. Any photos ?

 

How much are they asking?

Oh yeh those bags will set you back about $650, windshield $150.

 

This is the red one

 

This is the black one

 

My vote is red 2000. Classy. Timeless beauty!

 

My vote is for this one.
