Not that there's anything wrong with a Sporty, but that's one hell of a nice step 'up'.
Just don't try to lay it over as far as you could with the Sporty.
The floorboards don't like it much.
Enjoy the smooth ride.

That being said, I think the Heritage is still a 'step up' in both comfort and style.

you hear "old school" or "nostalgic" and the Heritage Classic is always one of the very first images that come to mind. This bike will always have a very special place in my heart...my first ever HD was a Victory Red Sunglo '95 FLSTC. My head snaps to look at one every time.
Most excellent choice, man.......lots of good times waiting

It can be a bit scary the first couple of times it happens, but in time you'll get to know that its just just the bike letting you know it ain't no crotch rocket.

For 2 years I've ridden a Sportster 1200 Custon ( fwd. controls)..and I enjoyed it!
Just traded the Sportster in on an '04 Heritage Softail Classic.
First impressions...One Word.....Smooooth!!!! I just can't get over how much smoother the ride is...I absolutely love this Bike!!
Mint condition....24K kms...V&H
I think it's beautiful...here it is....

Chips I'm with You on that one. I went from an 07 883C Sportster to an 09 Heritage in February. I got the Sportster new in 07 and thats the bike I learned to ride on.
What impresses me beyond the smooth ride, is the turning. The Sportster kind of "fell" into the corners and curves, with the Heritage its like "I think I'll go left" and the bike says "Ok". LOL just so easy to handle.
