Howdy and Welcome..
And thanks for doing Ur job..
I will add to make sure Ur spokes are adjusted correctly, seems to be issue on the 2012 Heritage's.
There's been Several threads in here with new Heritage's having wobble issue's because the spoke's are loose right off the showroom floor.
Spoke adjustment is part of the 1K service,, but that don't help during the first K of miles..
Just a heads up...
U can pluck them like a guitar string of tap them with a small tool to hear them.
they will have a tinging sound if correct,, or a thunk if loose. U'll know it if one or more is Loose.
Anyway Hope U enjoy U new bike as much as the wife and I enjoy's ours
ride safe and have a great summer..
