So, I had to sell my Softail Slim after having a couple strokes...
Just now getting back to where I can ride and about drove myself crazy trying to find a bike in my price range that didnt have the cam chain tensioner issue.
It's amazing that 99+% of owners have no clue about it still lol
Anyway I found this 2009 Heritage with 12k miles on it and couldn't be more happier, I can certainly tell the difference coming from the 103ci but I can certainly live with the power downgrade.
I am just happy to be alive and back on two wheels.
She has a stage 1 tune, slipons and a hi flow filter plus several add ons, and so the build begins :-)
The best issue is you got through those strokes. Glad you're riding again. Be careful and enjoy.
I have the same year and color heritage. Your pictures have me thinking about removing the
tank badges.
Welcome back, I had a heart attack/stent back in Nov of 2017 so I have an idea of what you went through, glad you made it. My bike is therapy to me(16 Deluxe). Ride safe, Really nice Heritage.
