Default Salutations from Iowa!
Hey all, just signed up to the forum. I am seeking advice on my next purchase. I currently am a proud owner of an '04 Sporty but, like always, am looking to upgrade. I'm trying to decide between a Heritage Softail Classic and the Street Glide. Any advice from those who have these bikes would be greatly appreciated! Thanks and ride safe - Dave

Welcome from Texas!I know you will get all kinds of opinions about the 2 bikes you've narrowed it down to.It would be hard for me to say without bias due to I ride a Electra glide that's basically a street glide so you know what I'd buy.The Heritage is an awesome ride but I wanted something with tunes plus I love the looks of the bat wing fairing.Either way,you wont be disappointed.


Enjoy the site.

Howdy Dave, welcome to the forum. I would suggest that you get your hands on each of them and give them a thorough test ride and decide which one feels the best to ya and buy that one. Good luck

Get a wideglide or a street bob like a sporty on steroids.
