    Of all the modification on a Softail Heritage Classic, Jamie's modifications is by far still the best. I've saved this video a few years ago and have watched so so many other Softail Heritage Classic's modification videos after that but I still come back to this one. Jamie's idea and the vision he has in his mind for the bike are truly awesome. It is an everlasting favorite

    I never thought I'd ever consider a Heritage.... It's always been kind of between different styles I like. But this new one is awesome. I think it's one of the best looking 2018 Softails. I know they supposedly made it "edgy" and modern. But to me, it looks even more old-school, like back to the 40s era. Some of these poser/haters don't even know what they're looking at.

    Hey just wanted to say this video was some inspiration for me when I did my build. I definitely made my 2018 114" mine. One of the things I love so much about bikes is there's no "right way" - there's just YOUR way. That's what I did. Jamie thanks for the inspiration. I know you later sold this bike and that's cool - hey you gotta be you. No doubt with your experience, taste and shop resources, whatever bikes you run they're gonna be straight monster. Keep the shiny side up!

    Opening with the full blown money shot. No messin'. Those pipes sound ferocious as hell- I like how they sound throaty and gutteral. No harsh notes at the top. Just got back from visiting my local dealer to get a feel for ergo's and pricing on the HD's I'm contemplating. I too need a comfy commute beast- 64mi R/T daily in NorCal/Silicon Valley area. I ride 365 rain or shine- to the office then on weekends taking the twisty mountain roads to the beaches. The SGS, RGS, and RK kind of seemed to fit, but after watching Matt's vid explaing the 2018 Heritage and RK chassis, and now this video showing a badass commuter setup using the Heritage, I think I found the next ride. Great video and super sweet ride!

    Thanks for doing this video. Awesome to see the value of the Heritage... cruise, ABS, front lighting, saddlebags, floorboards all standard. And the potential, his changes to the bike tip it towards mean. Also, I was just looking at the Stage upgrades in the catalog, and thought the Stage 3 seemed like such a better value. It's substantially cheaper l, but the overall power is not much lower than a Stage 4. Love his reasoning and explanation on Stage 3. Damn... my fantasy 2018 Street Bob just got a competitor.

As I love most things about my Dyna it hasn’t been an easy decision to make. Jamie, coming from a background in performance bikes similar to my own was able to address all my concerns. Thanks Jamie 👍🏽

    I have a 2020 Heritage Classic V107 in vivid black. Bro, your bike is hooked. What sold me on the bike was the fact that, in less than 5 minutes, you can remove the saddle bags, remove the windshield and remove the rear seat and it looks like a totally different bike. It goes from touring to a badass street cruiser.

    First of all thank you very much for posting all these wonderful and inspiring videos Matt. I hope they bring you many customers but sadly I live across the pond.
    And a big congrats to Jamie on his build, these is one of the most beautiful Harleys I have ever seen, that man has really got taste!
    This video has made me want to sell my beautiful club style FXDLS and gave me inspiration for building a Heritage. I have watched this video 6 or 7 times by now.
    Much of the inspiration for my FXDLS came from David's video by the way, great bike as well.
    Also my compliments on your simple but very nice club syle 2018 Fat Bob by the way, great idea!
    Anyway, going for a testride on the Heritage and a nice chat with my dealer tomorrow morning.
    A question to Jamie if I may. Does the auto tuner only work with the Street Tuner Pro or also with the Super Tuner Pro. And does a Super Tuner Pro exist for the Milwaukee 8 engine? It's not in the acessories book but neither is the one I have for my Dyna.
    I ask because I'd like to try the auto tuner but might go to my tuner guy afterwards anyway and he can do much more with the Super Tuner than the Street Tuner. He got my Stage 1 FXDLS to 106.8 bhp and 179.8 Nm at 6200 revs. That guy really knows his shit. Sadly the decel pops are there.
    Also Jamie, if you do further work on your Heritage, please make a follow up video, love your work!

    Thanks for sharing! I really like the way he chose to customize his bike! I just bought a 2019 slim an think I'm going to go in a very similar direction. I was wondering if you could give me a link for where he got the mirrors? The rectangle shape works well with the shape of the bars
