You know I really like to lose the windshield backrest and pass pillion. At the same time though, throwing them back on for a little jaunt with the wife is great. And with the whitewalls, just classy cool.

As you know, there's really no end to the variations you can summon up with an FLSTCI. Mine's an '06 that I bought new in December, 2005, now with 40K miles on her. Other than the tins and the mirrors, not a single piece of it is still stock.

I've tried out many other models, but I can't see ever trading in my Heritage. For me, it's the perfect combination of looks, comfort, and overall rideability. I'm 69, and do at least two multi-state trips a year, sometimes with a buddy and sometimes alone. I expect to keep riding until they have to pry my fingers off the grips.
