2007 Heritage Classic
Ok, am looking at a 2007 Heritage Classic and was wondering about the heat issue. Is it a real problem on the Heritage? Bike has 1700 miles and is stock. Price is $15,500. Is that price in line? Thanks for the info as this is my first Harley.
Thanks!
Thanks!

my 07 heritage runs about 230 degrees.that is right about where the manual says. sometimes i get alittle hotter if there is heavy traffic. i went and p/up a oil/temp dipstick $35 worth it for piece of mind. as far as the 07 no complaints at all

I'm afraid to know my oil temp here in AZ when I ride on a 105 degree day. All I know is that stop lights are hell!!

On the open road heat's not a real issue. When in traffic or stopped, it's throw off some heat,especially on right side. Not a deal breaker for me.
As for the price, figure you can prolly get an 09 for around 20500 out the door. So depends on whether you think the extra few k are worth it to get a new one with a warranty. At 1700 miles, that bike is barely broken in. Not really any significant changes from 07 models to 09s.

Installed the 103" Stage II Big Bore and oil cooler with synthetic in all three holes. I used to see 235-250, which was warm, buy now it never goes over 220. It was never "HOT" like some complain about. On 100 degree days a water cooled scooter is gonna be hot at stop lights. Buy it and enjoy the ride.

2007 Heritage Heat
My 2007 was hot straight out of the showroom especially at temperatures below 40 mph and in town at the traffic lights. Put in a race tuner, Rush mufflers 1 3/4" and synthetic oil...made a big difference. You may have the 5th geat noise...really loud at lower or maybe all RPM's, trcommend red Line 75/145 tranny lubrication oil, or another synthetic oil. At $15,000 I would probably bargain hard for a new 2009 or get the price down a thousand or maybe $1,500. $15K is not an unfair price but certainly not a bargain.
