I'm 51 and just purchased my 1st Heritage this spring. I've been riding 20yrs and started with an 81 Honda CB650. Moved to a Yamaha VStar 650 before buying my first HD in 2005. I test drove a Heritage and a RKC and ended up with the RKC. The Heritage fit me better from the start but I was convinced I needed a touring bike. I had that for 4 yrs before moving up to an Ultra Classic in 09. I then broke my ankle in a little motorcycle mishap last fall and decided the Ultra was just too heavy to keep riding with a bad ankle. So I sold it and picked up my 02 Heritage. It fits me great and handles wonderfully. I do a lot of touring and pull a trailer so I'm looking forward to getting this Heritage on a trip and see how she does. As for the bike, the previous owner did a lot of upgrades. She's carburated, has SE203 cams, fully chrome front end, chrome switches/braided lines, quick detach shield, passenger backrest/luggage rack, and saddle bags. I just added a trailer hitch, passenger floorboards, and highway pegs last weekend as well as removing that awful Road Tech stereo. Now I can hear nothing but those awesome V&H Big Shot longs! The bike is still in my buddy's garage about 4 hrs from here, but hopefully I'm finally getting her home next weekend and looking forward to riding again!

Larry, I just installed Beach Bars (55967-08) on my '02. I have long arms and this is a very relaxed riding position for me. Stock bars really got to my shoulders on longer rides.

While I have been riding for 45 years, this is my first Harley. It's a 2004 FLSTCI. I came to it from a 2005 Ducati 999S, so it's quite the change. I did a few mods over the long Canadian winter and I am just going through the break-in process now, but I am liking what I see so far!
In the propulsion department I went with Bean's bore to 95ci @ 10:1 CR and street porting, the Andrews 37b cams, the SE induction mod, and V&H Pro-Pipe. This has really awakened this li'l ol TC 88.
In the whoa!! department it's a pair of 320mm BrakeTech rotors and Brembo calipers on a modified Touring Profile 17" wheel, together with +2" tubes.
On the back, I thought that the CT route sounded obtuse enough to fit.
This picture shows it in "town" trim.
