    Really enjoyed your earlier vids on the Heritage. I bought mine in Oct '23, it is a fantastic machine and its my first HD too. Never have I watched a reviewer where I agreed with all the reviewers opinions on a bike. Enjoy miles of smiles and looking forward to more of your Heritage journey. Cheers man.

    Such a beautiful Bike.
    I am gonna take delivery tommorow.
    What I already had the Dealer put on are Crash Guards Front (Mustache) and back and for my Girl some footboards as well as the Tour Pak, with that huge integrated Backrest. Hitting two Birds with one stone.
    More Cargo Space and a nice Backrest for her.
    That made it necessary to change out the complete license Plate assembly and tail lights, because unfortunatly here in Germany we have giant license plates which would fit below the Tour Pak.
    Now Ive opted for a license Plate with integrated little LEDs for Brake and Blinkers, which makes the rear totally sleak looking.
    Mine is Chrome and Apline Green, because I am the rare breed that doesnt like black bikes. espacially not gloss black, maybe matt, but not glossy.
    Thanks for your Review and ride safely.
    God bless

      That sounds like the perfect set up. I couldn't afford to do all the accessories on delivery but your fit out sounds very similar to what I will do to mine. ENJOY YOUR NEW BIKE. Congratulations on a great choice. :>)

    A couple of useful accessories you may think about is the Ultimate Seat sissy bar relocation kit. It moves the sissy bar back 3 full inches for your passenger. My wife really noticed the difference. Also, JES Customs has a nice oil temp guage that replaces the stock oil cap. Quality products. I'm ordering up a Freedom 19" windshield which has a slight flip at the top. Should help with the airflow over 60 mph. I'll try to remember a followup comment after I test it out. This model is awesome. You picked a good one!

    I just bought a 2023 Heritage about a month ago as a retirement gift to myself after working as a prison guard for 35 years. Love the bike the power is amazing, the handling is incredible and the comfort fits like a glove. Enjoy the ride!!

      Thanks Ronald. I bought mine for similar reasons and it is all those things I love about it too. Definitely the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden. Enjoy many happy hours of motoring on yours too. :>)

    I'm so excited I pick up my Heritage Classic next week. Identical to yours but from Morgan and Wacker in Sydney.
    Getting chrome slip ons and heat shields to break up the black a bit.
    Very excited.
    Nice to see Bangalay Dining in your video, I was there 2 weeks ago for lunch.
    Might see you on the road when I come down to my Vincentia house

    • @motorcyclingdownunder

      Exciting news. When I picked up mine someone else was about to pick up theirs and had fitted chrome guards front and back, a chrome sissy bar and rear rack. Looked really good with those chrome elements. Re Bangalay. Great restaurant. As is South on Albany in Berry.

    I think I would have to make them LED the rear before I buy one. It’s an awesome looking bike. Hopefully I will test ride this weekend.

    My 22 heritage has tubeless spoked wheels, you may want to double check that,

    • @motorcyclingdownunder
      @motorcyclingdownunder  3 місяці тому

      Thanks Daniel, I will. I did ask about it on the day I picked it up and they said it did have tubes. But I will now double check and make sure that information if correct. Cheers. :>)

      Yes, 2022 was the only year for the cast spoke option. Must not have been popular. I'm going to seal my spoked wheels this winter so I can run tubeless.

      @@garyboman5018 that should give you the best of both worlds. Spoked wheels that are in keeping with a bike that harks back to older machines ... while still being able to plug the tires on the side of the road if you get a puncture.
