Just bought my GF a 09 Heritage, I know in 09 they changed the touring line, when have they made any significant changes to the Heritages? Just curious.

I believe the last big change was in 2000 when the counter-balanced motor was introduced.

Sportsters were changed in 2004 when they rubber mounted the motors.

07 the swingarm (also on the Deluxe) was changed to the same one as the Fatboy. Just different fender and fender support widths (and belts, spacers, etc).
