Default 2011 Heritage Softail

I have not purchased a new bike in years. I just could not justify paying $2000 less for a 4 year old bike in the same trim, with 11,000 miles and now warranty. 2 years, bumper to bumper, unlimited mileage was well worth the difference. Payments were not that far apart.

Any how, my FIRST touring bike. I had a blast on XL 1200 C, but after 2 days, I could never go back.

2 years of fun, and then on to a Glide or Road King!

Here ya go: check out Dennis Kirk website, they have the Freedom Performance Signiture Series slip on mufflers for 1/2 price, $185.00 shipped. I just installed a pair of these Saturday, good quality and sound. Before trading the Heritage for a Roadking/Eglide, you may want to rent 1 of them for a day or two. Your Heritage is one of the most universal best Harleys ever built. There is a place for the FL platform, but after you ride the Heritage for awhile you may be convinced that it doesn't get much better.
