Default 2015 Heritage

Took a 2015 Heritage for a test ride today. What a difference between my 2009 Super Glide. Really like the ride and handling of the Heritage. Is there any thing I should be aware of for that year? Tomorrow I start the haggling process. I didn’t think I would like the color Black Magic. Once you get it out in the sunshine it’s different. Thanks Hippie

Apparently there was some sort of conspiracy at HD to make the gas tank smaller. Other than that, I love mine.

The thing that I like about my 2016 is that they added throttle-by-wire so cruise is standard. I can't tell you how often I flip it on and get to relax with either hand on the bar. If you can spring for the '16, I'd do it. 103 High Output, cruise and ABS and it makes a huge difference. I'm not dissing the 15's at all. I had an 05 and loved it, too. Just saying that one more year gets you some great features.

Like stated above that is why I went with the bike I did (cruise control) the 103 and ABS are plus's also but the CC was the main reason.

My 2015 Heritage with the 103 has been and assume it will continue to be a great bike. My 15 also has abs brakes. Buy it and enjoy the ride.

Thanks for all the replies. Made the deal today over the phone. I like doing the deal over the phone, it’s easier to hang up than walking away. I was surprised he called back. Picking it up Thursday,weather permitting.

I went from an 08 Superglide to a 16 Heritage.
I know exactly what ya mean by the difference.
I do miss the Superglide at times but the Heritage sure is way more comfortable and better for 2up riding. Whatever ya decide good luck to you and be safe!

Love my 2015 Heritage. Did a Stage One upgrade, installed HD Street Cannons but the best thing I did was install a Vance & Hines FP3 FuelPak. Made all the difference in the world in power and performance. I also added a Mustang seat with backrest and a wider passenger seat. World of difference in riding comfort! Love my Heritage Classic. Traded my 2014 Ultra Limited in for it and I never regretted it.

Well my wife a I picked up the new bike today. I think she was more excited than I was. Every time I looked in the mirror she was smiling from ear to ear. If I could figure how to post a picture I would ��
