I saw posts about folks having "SWOOSHES" in their paint and didn't understand exactly what they were refering to. I assumed it was a blemish in the paint so gonna check my beloved Heritage, (Black in color), to see if we had any swooshes. Before I got close to the Black Beauty, there it was. A huge swoosh on the side of the gas tank. Never saw it as a swoosh before. Of course I looked on the other side and just like Charley Brown, we got two of 'em. One on each side. Since I can't remove 'em, I guess I'm glad we got 'em. I waxed that tank 100 times & never saw a swoosh !
Yup, its one of those things you dont see until someone else points it out. Now that you see it everytime you look at your tank youll think "swoosh".
Just think, you have a limited edition Harley Davidsons - **** edition bike. 1 of however many of this low numbered edition they made.
What I've been calling the N-I-K-E type swirl on single or two tone hertitage softail classics, some have called a swoosh. Based on a poll on this forum, the consensus is that no one really likes it. Some hate, some tolerate it. I hope that is not what Choppin Charlie was talking about, because the swirl, or the swoosh, you can not miss.

Think hes talking about the N.I.K.E. symbol. Cant believe this site blocks it. People are always using trademark names on here without problems. Oh well Im not a fan of that company anyways.
Yes, whit42 photo & look close can see the front rocker of their logo around the H-D badge. If we ever learn to attach photo & post a post and just not only reply I could show another "limited edition".
Nice bike whit42. Hard to tell it from mine. Had it since June "09 & only 2,200 miles on it. Been sick & injured. Was able to get Rinehart slipons on it. Loudest of the folks I ride with. Ain't sure about the tone tho. Not broken in yet, maybe.
