Heritage Deluxe project
Hey there Softailers.
My brother asked me to hook him up with a Heritage so I picked up this gem. I don't know much about these so I'm hoping I can ask some questions along the way.
It was pretty haggard. I'm putting this one together on a budget so I had to start with something not so spendy. I had planned to start pretty much bare bones anyway.
Here it is the day I picked it up.
Removed what was bad along with what I don't plan on using.
I've ordered some parts I'll be using but I wanted to throw some stuff at it so he could say yay or nay.
I'll be powdercoating pretty much everything and he's not diggin the spring seat but it's a start.
Thanks for the help in advance.

a- no
b- yes
I have a frame jig. It wouldn't concern me if it was because I can fix it but it's not tweaked at all. The swingarm is bent though.
What model years interchange with the 05?
Thanks.

What yard did you pick that bike from?
As that bike sits now, it is pretty close to looking like what guys in Japan do with old Harley rigid they cobble back together. Not a look that everyone likes, but I think it is pretty cool.

If I could ever find one to work with, I would love to be able to do one of my own. I just really like the looks of an FL softail when stripped.

Thanks guys.
I got it from Auto Network in Gaston. Some of their prices are ridiculous but I got this one for a song. I've picked up a few bikes from there. They do all of the paperwork. Saves alot of time and headache. All I have to do is get a police inspection when I'm done.

you can get used nacelles off e-gay pretty cheap, I got 3 and a half from there, one is brand new, none were over a 100$, great deal if you PC, which by looking at the 2 sand blast booths you have you probably do in house. Also if you look at the kits online at HD, you can d-load the install manuals, which give you the rest of the missing part #s for the bolts spacers and such. A lot cheaper than buying from the steeler
