Wasn't there a Heritage Springer Classic for '07?
Yes there was. I bought one since '07 was the last year for that one. So now the only "out of the box" Springer is the CVO, but it's a bit on the pricey side.
It wasn't called a Heritage - the Softail Springer Classic (FLSTSC) was made in '07 (96 inch/6-speed) and is now discontinued. The only Springer model made now is the Screaming Eagle.
Not enough demand for them to warrant making them. On an overage year less than 10,000 are sold worldwide. From a $$$ viewpoint it's not worth making that few of bikes even if it's just a different frontend. The MOCO will make more money selling a softtail then having the springer frontend available as a conversion unit through the local dealer...which they do....$2300 for the springer, $700 for the brake and wheel kit.
