It's a Softail, plain and simple. Harley categorizes all bikes based on the frame. Heritage is a Softail frame.
Depending on what you are planning to do with the bike I do suggest you look at the Touring line. (note I've owned and own Softails so no bias here).

If that's the bike you wind up with just be sure whatever you look at fits the FLSTC for your model year. Take a look at ISO-grips as well.

Check out the HD forums Classified adds as you can get some really good deals on what you are looking for, just make sure of the fitment as some of the earlier bikes equipment will not fit the 2012 Heritage.
OBTW, you got the best Harley out there IMHO.
