Traded a 2010 Ultra for a 2012 Heritage as arthritis and cancer induced loss of muscle and strength made humping the Ultra difficult at times. I've had the Heritage for 6 weeks now, ridden over 1700 miles, spent a lot on replacing the passenger pillion and backrest, detachable sideplates, different risers for the bars, and now I'm looking at going back to a touring bike to get the smooth ride, better ergonomics, and a backrest plus a seat that the wife likes.
I just can't get comfortable on the Heritage, and I really wanted to as the bike is, IMHO, the best looking bike Harley has, especially in the Tequila Sunrise/Orange with the WWW tires.
The master cylinder has been rebuilt - the "standard" lever to the grip syndrome - the spoke wheels have been trued by a trusted indy as HD wouldn't do it - they were within specs even though the bike vibrated at 60+ mph.
Brings to memory and old saying - "Before you give something up, make sure you have something of value to replace it".
All of you enjoy your Softails - it's been a pleasure lurking here on this part of the Forum and learning a lot. Ride safe and often!
