Sweet,, I think the Heritage only looks good in two colors, Black and What U just bought.

I almost got a white one when we got ours..

IMO U just bought a well kept Harley secret. U'll now find out that a Heritage is one of the best riding Harleys there is (IMO the Ultra is the only one better on the road, not in town), in stock form. No need to change out the seat and bars to make her more comfy. There perfect the way they are.

I did have to make the rear end better for the wife, She rides 90% of the time and In 07 the pillion seat really sucked compared to the newer ones..

I got her the Touring seat and bigger Sissy bar pad with detachable backrest, then I also added the Rear FloorBoards so she could move around a lot better..
Results.. "MAJOR" major, improvements in her comfort. That was Money Well Spent.

Hope U enjoy Urs as much as we have ours.. bought ours new in 07 and now shes 7yrs old with 46k on her and she's been the best of all the 9 bikes we've owned..

I'll only add to make sure U check Ur spokes as there has been some who have reported they have had some loose spokes this yr on the new bikes. Do the ping test to check them.

That may be my favorite color. Large dealer in East Tennessee hasn't gotten this color in on a Heritage yet and sounds like it may be awhile before they get one. Looks good in pics, but I want to see one in person. I used to drive OTR truck and have been by your town many times. Your riding season is almost over. I bought a 2011 Heritage (black) 2 yrs ago yesterday. I came off a 2007 E/Glide and a 2005 RK before that. My wife and I used to do long distance riding and now more 1 and 2 day runs. The Heritage is our favorite Harley we have owned, I just turned 10K miles this weekend in 2 seasons of riding. I guess we still ride some.
