I've always considered the Heritage to be Harley's most versatile model. You can strip it down for around town, dress it up for touring, go with a overall nostalgic look or slam it and add some wheels and apes and go for a more street bike look. The bike performs and looks good no matter which way you go. With the exception of the Deluxe or RK, most of the other models, especially non-softails seem dedicated to one type of look or use and don't offer the versatility of the Heritage.

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!
My thoughts EXACTLY! Oh, & yep I have to agree with the others.....Your wife is beautiful! Your a lucky man!

That was the purpose

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:

Mimo.


NICE !
An Heritage is for sure my preferred bike !
