Default My New Heritage!
I bought a new 2013 Heritage Softail today. I rode it about 60 miles home from the dealer and so far so good. It's very comfortable in stock form and has plenty of power for me. I'm very impressed with the overall smoothness of the engine and the suspension. I'm sure I'll eventually change out the exhaust and air intake and maybe get a different seat like on all my previous Harley's, but for now I'm just happy to have her in my garage. This is my first Softail, but have owned Sporty's, Dyna and Touring models before.

Here is the obligatory pic.

Pretty bike. Congrats. I'm on a '13 HC myself and love it. Of course I didn't go stock for very long <eyeroll>. Enjoy it.
