She saw the thread when I got home from work. She was flattered... said she'd be the forum model if y'all needed one???
In the greeting to the new member, I said he made a good choice, I believe the Heritage is the best looking and most versatile model in the Harley line up. You can load it up with bags and tour packs and hit the open road, or strip it down for cruising the streets around town. And it looks Great either way! I don't see it as a compromise... a happy medium between a "cool" bike and a geezer glide.... I believe it's the ultimate motorcycle!
Apes? I have them pushed forward a bit more since that picture was taken. I think apes look best when mounted vertical!

Yep, I have to agree. Nice looking wife and apes have to be pushed forward a bit. I think it over emphasizes the rake of the frontend with the apes pulled back. But hey, to each their own.

I always thought the Heritage Softail was... the "average bass player" of the Harley Davidson line-up. You know... that shy nerdy-looking guy, behind the guitars, the singer and even behind the keyboards! The Heritage is a bike for a guy with a low profile, not young enough for a NT, FB, or some cool looking bike... but not that old for a Touring lazy-boy on wheels I guess... may be the Heritage is the middle age crisis bike... 
What do you guys think?
On the other hand... I've realized that my bike (originally a FatBoy) looks more and more each day like a Heritage Softail
And again, a Heritage guy with this gorgeous looking wife can't be a boring middle age crisis bass player...
Please people lets put our hands together for this sweet young lady on top of that fine looking bike 
:i con_clapclap:

Well I say ride what you like. I'm past 60 chronilogically anyway. Does that mean I'm too old for my Fat Boy? I guess I'm old enough for my Street Glide, or haven't you noticed the younger guys doing some really cool tricked out "geezer glides." Oh yeah I sat on a Heritage and it felt great to me as far as the bars and seat go. Glad to know I'm riding the wrong bikes. lol

I definately dont think the Heritage is the 'average bass player'. Its more the Classic Harley'. You think Harley, you think leather, studs, chrome...Heritage comes to mind.
Your Heritage wanna-be looks awesome tho!!
And the apes gotta be pushed forward past the line of the forks 'just' a little....
