2005 Heritage
I just bought my first H-D yesterday! The bike is a Heritage, 88CI, 5-speed, fuel injected. Are there any issues I should be aware of for that year or model. The bike is in great shape with 8400 miles. Any feedback would be appreciated!

I would same at 10-15k miles get the cam chain tensioner checked. While they are in there you might as well get a cam and new torington cam bearing installed also. Those 2 things are the only things I would put on my to do list and then just ride thar sucker.

I had an '04 Heritage ...loved it..great ride.
I had the cam chain tensioners changed at 50k miles. The mechanic said they showed very little wear. ( but put new ones in since he was 'in there'.) Some go earlier and some like mine just go on and on like the energizer bunny.
Enjoy that Softail.

CTers checked around 20-25k.
If those are still the org tires.. I would highly advise U to put new tires on..
Flush out the brake lines..
Make sure the neck bearing are OK and greased.
lube Ur throttle and clutch cables. and check Air cleaner.
Also if still has the Org battery,, its time to put in a new one..
Change all three oil holes
THEN ride her..
