Just put on a grasshopper backrest ... not bad. I need some pipes dammit! BSL's asap! Gotsaggybags with locks went on this winter, and a new air cleaner cover.

Love my Heritage ... just started riding to work again here in Colorado. Nice to have a wind shield. Even NICER to be able to take it off in seconds!

Looking good Slickster. I was thinking about putting a Grasshopper back rest on, but I don't think it will work with the touring passenger pillion for the queen.

I'm 26 also. I inherited my Heritage from my dad, he bought it new in 2001. I'll post some pics as soon as I get some decent weather to go on a decent ride....

Now THERE's something you don't see every day!! ...aka "how'd that Ferrari get into my Heritage pic!?"

Done a bunch of little stuff on her so far:
+ Solo'd
+ "Get a Grip" magnum contour grips
+ RAM GPS Cradle w/ Kuryakyn chrome cigarette lighter power port.
+ Barebacks saddlebag mounts
+ Narrowed rear turn signals
+ Curved lay-down plate frame (JP Cycles brand)
+ Mustang mini solo fender bib.

... Still under 1K, and saving up $ for ac & pipes

Yeah, the more I ride mine, the more it feels like a part of me and the more I love it.

Seating position is perfect, hand grip position is perfect, feels real solid and very balanced. The weather is warming up here, this is my second day in a row riding in to work. Will do so again tomorrow... and then get some riding in over the weekend.

I'm 46 and I love my Heritage, 2011 bought it July 1st and have 12,983 miles on it already. Just had Metzlers put on it a couple of weeks ago. Done some minor upgrades to it, Cycle Shack M series pipes, SE aircleaner, Woods 777 cams, PC V, with a dyno tune by South Side Johnny. Running 93.5 hp and 96 ft lbs of torque. Still have a **** eating grin every time I hop on it and fire it up....

Nice bike! Does the stock windshield fit with that headlight nacelle? I like the looks of it.

I've had my '07 Heritage since June of '10. She had 2214 miles on her and I've got her up to 16,500. I was in the market for a Street Bob and had tried out a lot of other bikes. When I sat on this one, it just felt right - almost effortless to ride.

After a couple of months of owning her, some guy leaned out of his truck window and asked me, "Ain't you a little young for a bike like that?" At 26, I replied, "You're never too young for good taste." He laughed and rolled up his window.

Future plans include the Fuel Moto 107" kit by the end of April and Flat Black paint by the end of the summer. We'll see, though.
