Newbie from Florida
Well, sort of new. I have posted several times over the last few weeks. Thought maybe I should post here as well.
I'm Eric from Florida. Been through several bikes over the years. From Goldwings to Ultra Classics. Sold them when I moved to Florida thinking I didn't need a big touring bike any longer. Just picked up a used '02 Heritage Softail Classic at the local HD dealer for $10,000 with 32,000 miles on her. Traded a Kawasaki Drifter to get it. The Heritage was Jade Sunglo when I bought her with a crease in the front fender. Looked on E-bay and picked up a new set of Glacier Pearl White full set Tins. And I am so pleased with it. Looks like a new bike now.
I am posting before and after photos.
Tell me what you think.

Yeah, I miss some of my Jap bikes. Smoother ride, easier to maintain, cheaper to own but H-D is sooooo much more fun to ride. I feel like I'm really riding when on an H-D.
I had to change the color of this Heritage. I was hating that Jade Green color.
Set of '06 Pearl White Tins on E-Bay for $700 and New '09 saddlebags for $400. A savings of almost $2000 if I had bought from H-D.
They got some of my money though. I had them put on the tins. Wanted it done right. Good thing too. Had some shredded brake light cables under the old fender that were almost worn through.

God choice on color.. IMO Black, Gray, and White is the better colors on a Heritage.
