Heritage Classic - Full Touring Model Needed
I'm tried of not being able to find what I truly want in a motorcycle, so here is my want list for a potential future model.
I'm a long time Heritage Classic rider, I love the way the ride, and the fit for my body build is absolutely perfect. I've also had multiple makes and models of touring bikes in my 50+ years of riding. Want I really want is an upgraded Heritage Classic model that has 100% of the full touring features of the Ultra Limited model but on the Softail frame. This Heritage Classic Limited model should include true dual side exhaust, nice wide heated touring saddle & pillion, heated grips, saddlebags that look the same and are roughly the same size as the Ultra Limited but don't have the clearance for the shocks built in thus making them with a slightly larger internal capacity, the exact same large touring trunk as the Ultra Limited, saddle bag protection bars, engine protection bars with the same lower fairings as the Ultra Limited, dual disk brakes on the front wheel, the exact same batwing fairing complete with all the touring electronic and gauging bells and whistles as on the Ultra Limited. Also, a new color would also be nice for this model a Candy Apple Metallic Maroon (NOT a 2-tone) with all black trim. You might have to increase the capacity of the rear mono-shock a little bit for the extra weight.
Yea, I know I'm demanding but if no one speaks out, nothing will be done.
Thanks
P.S. A built-in programmable garage door opener button that only works when the bike is turned on would be a nice feature that I bet a LOT of riders would like on Harley's touring bikes.

Agree except on the exhaust.
Unless I misunderstand, do you mean an exhaust on each side under the saddlebags (good) or dual exhausts on side like current Heritage (bad).
It also needs inverted forks (adjustable for stiff or soft), a 121 v v t engine with adequate cooling, adjustable windshield, RDRS with sport, touring and wet modes, a better brake pedal, factory trunk dismount kit preinstalled, choice of handlebars from factory.
mono paint and chrome everywhere.

Because it would be a Limited with a mono shock, if you havent noticed the MoCo is making the touring line with optional touring accessories, I am a Heritage guy & would like to see some color upgrades as well as Saddlebag improvements but I dont think the heritage line up will get much of anything??? I hope im wrong.

One of the main reasons I ask "Why" is there are already companies making the true dual side pipes for the Heritage, plus there are companies making full size saddle bags for the Heritage as long as you switch the pipes to the true dual side pipes. These companies wouldn't be making these if customers weren't requesting them and purchasing them, there is a demand. Harley already has engine protection bars for the Heritage, they just need to adapt the current lower fairings to fit, and I'm pretty darn sure that Harley Davidson can adapt the current existing Ultra Limited batwing fairing to mount to the Heritage.
These things I'm asking aren't difficult things for Harley Davidson engineers to accomplish. In my opinion; if Harley Davidson design engineers say "it can't be done" then they have the wrong engineers in their design department.
I made my own dash to use behind my Reckless Industries batwing fairing. The left mount is for a Garmin Zumo XT and the right mount is for my iPhone, both are wired in to the bike.
