I,m considering selling my EGC , (04) , model and going to the Heritage. I know the ride will be way different, but , I,m gettin older and being only 5'8 and 120 lbs. the big black beauty is a little hard for me to push around. I,m thinking the Heritage would be a good choice for me since we don't tour anymore. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. P.S. I might consider a trade if anyone is looking for a great touring bike. Camplate up-grade already done and much more. Senior rider in Arkansas.
Thanks
I love the heritage harleys and it should be good for you to throw around. My buddies wife has one and shes a little thing 4'11 about 110lb soaking wet.
I love the ride of my Softail Deluxe and it is the lowest sitting bike in the Harley line-up. I would recommend you finding a 96B instead of the 103 as I personally am not a fan of it.
I'm really enjoying my Heritage. we bought it with the thought that my wife would "inherit" it in a year or so.
The only thing I'm having an issue with (and you may not) is that I scrape the footboards ocasionally when cornering... To be expected to a certain extent. In all other respects an excellent bike.
I love my Heritage nice looking bikes and nice rides imo. Mine has a lowering kit on it so I do have to be more careful when cornering, but my wife and I love it!
Heritage, though a great value for the price, has gotten a little long in the tooth from a marketing standpoint, having been around for 20 years or so.
That's good for the buyer, as many Dealers ordered too many this year and many 2012's sit unsold.
I got a 2010 Heritage and have since looked at a Street Glide. After some consideration I decided to keep the Heritage and am completely satisfied. I too am from Arkansas.
