Hi all - Just traded my 05 Sportster 1200 custom on a 08 Heritage Softail Classic.I loved that sporty but found i was going more and more on the hiway and wanted a bigger ride for possible tripsthat also could cruise the blvd.Hope i made the right choice as all i did was sit on the bike at the stealer.It felt right and here i am joining the softail family.Any recommendations on must have accessories or tips on this model will be greatly appreciated. Daryl

 

you asked for 'accessories' so i may not have the best answer,
but i would say RIDE It !
its a great bike, you got a bagger, toss some jeans and beer in it and go for a ride 2 or 3 States away,
chrome can wait, it can wait forever,
theres a hundred beerbars and topless joints within a 1000 miles of your house, i have visited most of mine

 

You made the right decision, just traded my 08 883 for an 08 Night Train and it is a WORLD of difference. Riding the sporty is like riding a bicycle and riding the softtail is like riding in a cadillac. Best money I ever spent.

 

well fatdog that sounds like fun but will have to ride farthur to get down there from Canada

 

wow 490 didnt take you long to get off that sporty.took me 3 years

 

Welcome to the "soft" side!

 

Well I am 6'3" and about 280 so I looked like an elephant on a pissant

I had the chance to get the train when I bought the sporty but I was in too big of a ****in hurry and left. Plus the Night Train has been a dream of mine for years.

 

Congratulations on the new bike, have fun with her.....

 

Ya got some tail..cool, welcome to our little section of the Forum.....accessories will make the bike your own but like other's have said here riding her is the best part...the other stuff can wait.
