Default The Heritage Softail...

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:

Mimo.

That's one of the best accessories I've ever seen on a Heritage!

Yes I'm lucky... but make no mistake... that is not my bike and she is certainly not my wife... I wish!

This is my (heritage-looking) bike:



Now, all I need is one fine and classy skin accessory conecting the handlebar to the seat, just like our forum's friend pic in the OP , similar part missing to complete my bike

Mimo.

Thank you, mimo. I wouldn't consider myself anything above ordinary or average... just really lucky!

LOL!!! I was wondering how long it would take before you find this thread. I saw you greeting a new Heritage owner and thought of this. Lucky man, indeed. Congrats brother.

Ps: that gorgeous gal saw something in you (other than the Harley ) you're above average for sure

Ride on,

Mimo.

A bit off the subject.
Might just be me, but I think apes don't look good unless they line up with the angle of the front forks.

I have mine set in line with the rake but I like them both ways. I think that FatBoy with those Carlini Flying Apes (I believe) looks cool as he!!
