bought mine last year from a friend who was the original owner. everything was done to it except for the short rail detachable backrest i bought. pipes are great...wheels make it a tad different.

i've said before and i'll say it again. this heritage is the most comfortable bike i've ever ridden. the stock seat, floorboards, and bars on these bikes fit me perfectly.

here's some pics for ideas...

There really is no limit to customization with the Heritage...you can go a lot of different directions in style.

It's just a matter of how much $$$ you want to spend! Here's a pic of my 04 Heritage set up for solo riding...




Here she is set up for a passenger...(minus the new saddlebag guards and fender rails)



The sky's the limit...just have fun with it!

I just bought an 09 Heritage as well and I'm going to start out with the highway bars (Harley Moustache version)...going to do the "essential" stuff first and then move to the performance mods later. I've got all the time in the world!

Thumbs up Re: luggage rack

I recommend and have the tour pak from HD, it's detachable, matches the seat and works great with the lines of the bike. It holds a lot of sh*t for those long runs and gives the passenger a bit of a backrest. maybe a little pricey, but it's quality stuff, but like the sayin' goes "ya get what ya pay for"

I got it in Red Hot Sunglo...looked at black and pearl blue, but the red just stood out for some reason (looks great in the light). I was between the RK Classic and the Heritage, but I felt more comfortable on the Heritage. I'm REALLY HAPPY with it!
