I got a 2008 heritage..love it!! yours is very cool looking! love the color!...GET rid of those passenger pegs and get her some Foot Boards!! she will love them!! good video! Ride safe Brutha!
I got the same bike except 114. went with vance and hines. I just love the bike. I would not change anything except what I did. oh I did add a sissy bar for the wife. it is night and day with old heritage. you can keep them - no comparison over the new. Harley did a terrific design on this one.
Bob, if you put any tools in that front bag, you hit s pothole and you will get s big dent on that front fender. A riding friend of mine found out the hard way. Not enough room for your complete front suspension compliance.
Those new slip ons sound really good! The cars around you will know without a doubt that you're amongst them, and really, that's the whole point. Some of these half asleep drivers need to be aware of a bike so they can be a little more careful about giving you the space you need to drive it. Nice color too, by the way. I hope you have many miles of pleasureable riding ahead of you on this fine Bike!
The older Heritage, I have a 2016, and I just love the way it looks, and I like the older saddle bags. I can fit more in them. Trying real hard to like the newer ones. Been thinking of upgrading.. me personally, love the chrome :)
I have that same bike and color scheme but with the 114. I've heard really good things with the Harley Hammock. Plus you can get a driver backrest for it. I love the bike so far. Just got it a few months ago.
I put some Vance & Hines Eliminator 300 on my 2018 heritage 114 and it sounds awesome I would not put anything else I heard all kinds of mufflers and Vance & Hines sounded the best to me
Harleys are so sexy! I believe I am ready to move to the "dark side" lol. Supersport bikes are fun, but i almost 40 years old now. I am looking for comfort now. I always thought Harley Davidson's were beautiful. Loving these new softails. Your bike is beautiful and nice color.
Love the Heritage. Looks and sounds good. Wouldn't worry about a few marks, thats normal wear and tear. Wont stay showroom if you're having fun using it.
Had the same issue with the passenger seat. The wife was constantly being pushed forward every time we went over a bump. Went to a Mustang seat and problem solved. Food for thought.
I owned a 2013 Heritage. The tank was also 5 gallons, and compared to the new ones they rode and took corners poorly. The new ones are so much better, but they definitely are not full tourers.
You may find that backrest to be more useful than a touring pack. For me I use a strap over touring bag. I have the pack as well but seldom use it. Nice looking bike. I have the Twisted Cherry 114.
I have one of these. A few complaints I have: the panniers are such a stupid design with that bracket right in the middle. I have a buzzing from the fuel cap. This is standard; when I complained my dealer said there was no point putting a new one on as it would also rattle. Their suggestion was to buy a different cap from their catalogue. £89 for a pair.
I had the same buzzing from the fuel cap. Took it to the dealer and had them replace it. Its covered under the warranty. new one isn't buzzing.........yet.
I agree with you about the ever more powerful engines. I have the 114 M8, but to tell the truth, my old 96 twin cam was all the power I needed. I also find the new Heritage frame gives so much more balance and maneuverability than the old Heritage. Much easier to ride if you are not so tall. Just want to warn you and others, In the last month I have seen severely dented tops of the full front Harley fender because of what happens when you hit a massive pot hole with the front bag having something in it. It can make a grown man cry.
I got this bike and really like it. The only thing i don't like is that the rivets (if that is what they are) that hold the trim on the rear fender break off! I think Harley could have done better for the price of this bike. Guess i have to go back to the dealer again! Anyone else have this issue? Overall it is great and rides much better than my Breakout did 😆
I have same, its nice, on my 114 blue numbered limited. 2018. in another video they called it a heritage knucklehead, the blue is the nicest ive seen., great pipes. I don't know about it being called a knucklehead. its on a video here
Were the exhaust shields a direct replacement for the stockers? I'd like to replace my chrome ones without necessarily changing out the exhausts. Any help?
how is the ride long distance 2 up? i am trying to decide if i want the 114 or 107, i rode a deluxe and it felt really snappy with the 107. the 114 felt more laid back but powerful.
Bob, would you consider the RCX exhaust loud? Or just better sounding. I have a 2018 deluxe with the 107, thinking about the rcx exhaust, just not sure.
I bought the hammock seat and the little lady can still only handle about an hour and a half, im considering the mustang but im hesitant about spending the money and having the same results as the hammock.
I have owned both, i dont really see a difference for passenger. I wouldnt spend the money if you already own the hammock. tell your passenger to toughen up :)
Man it really sounds like you need to quit crying about your new bike praising the old bikes and just go sell your new one and buy an old one I think everybody in this comment section can agree that you’ve done nothing but bash the new one and praise the old one but yet here you are with an 18
How much do you hate that 3.5 gallon gas tank. A real pet peeve of mine on the 114. I did have tab slip ons with zombie baffles added (holy crap - loud in a good way). Also no tuner? I installed a V&H and run “twin slash 3” with competition baffles, recommended by V&H. Prob made gas mileage worse - but that engine and pipes begs to be blipped often. Also have 2500 miles
Hey, how's the heritage haven't seen any more video about the bike. Hope you still have the bike. PS. Are you still want to sale your sissy bar and rack, if you are let me know my email d1109jimenez@yahoo.com
My 2010 Heritage is the best looking Heritage every made. I also had a 1994 that I wish I had back. My 2010 had American Custom Slip-ons and you can't beat the sound. To each his own, but the new Heritage looks like shit
The new bags absolutely suck.........Harley took the "heritage" out of the Heritage! The bike itself looks nice, but I don't like the new lights, either. I"ll stick with my 2012!

Great sound to the RCX slip ons. Are the black header pipes your originals powder coated or did you buy them from Harley?
I put some Vance & Hines Eliminator 300 on my 2018 heritage 114 and it sounds awesome I would not put anything else I heard all kinds of mufflers and Vance & Hines sounded the best to me

Love that color combo ✌️

Great bike, Bob! I did the Vance and Hines slip ons and the screaming Eagle tuner. These sound great too! 👍
Good review and update. Also, I like your philosophy. I have a '21. I need the bigger passenger seat as well.. Looking at options.
22 minutes before even starting the damn thing. 22 minutes....
For real...
Best comment award. Thank you. Your comment saved 20 minutes of my life.
Had the same issue with the passenger seat. The wife was constantly being pushed forward every time we went over a bump. Went to a Mustang seat and problem solved. Food for thought.
Two piece, I bought both though.
rockerz57 I put a mustang on my street glide and man is that thing comfortable!
Chrome holds up better as far as scratches better than the black.. Whatever happened to what they called Black Chrome..
I owned a 2013 Heritage. The tank was also 5 gallons, and compared to the new ones they rode and took corners poorly. The new ones are so much better, but they definitely are not full tourers.
Very beautiful bike the heritage has always been my favorite. I wish I could afford one though. For now I'll stick to my 1200 custom.
Sweet looking bike.
Nice bike. I have the same mufflers on my 2018 Heritage 114 (but in chrome). I reckon they sound great.
You may find that backrest to be more useful than a touring pack. For me I use a strap over touring bag. I have the pack as well but seldom use it. Nice looking bike. I have the Twisted Cherry 114.
Enjoyed your vid. We have 2 things in common. we both ride a 2018 heritage classic and both are former millis drivers.
Mean City Cycles can customize your seat. It will still look stock but be way more comfortable
Nice. Still own the bike? Any issues?
Looks and sounds great 👍🍺
Bob, let us know if older Heritage passenger seat fits new Heritage hope it clear the bags. Do a 5000 and 10K video
Thank you for these informative videos:) Beautiful bike and mods👍 Placed a deposit on 2021 114 this week:) Do you still have yours (2 years later)?

Next video: Wife approved how to store a Harley while living in a dog house. 😜

Very nice Bike ..
Take your dog bow off front rim it doesn't look good ! If you change your floorboards make sure it has crowd around the edge of floorboards
thanks for sharing!! do you have the Components part numbers please? luggage thanks!!
I have same, its nice, on my 114 blue numbered limited. 2018. in another video they called it a heritage knucklehead, the blue is the nicest ive seen., great pipes. I don't know about it being called a knucklehead. its on a video here

how is the ride long distance 2 up? i am trying to decide if i want the 114 or 107, i rode a deluxe and it felt really snappy with the 107. the 114 felt more laid back but powerful.
That bike is super sexy!! I want to get me one.
Can't go wrong with the Heritage !
Hey Bob, Can you let us know why you went from electra glide to heritage? and how do you compare the ride of both motorcycles?
Can you please post the make/model/buying link of the helmet there?
hey Bob, do you still have the shifter shaft from the Toe only shifter?
did you install a tuner with these? if not did u lose any power or any decel popping?
Bob, would you consider the RCX exhaust loud? Or just better sounding. I have a 2018 deluxe with the 107, thinking about the rcx exhaust, just not sure.
I bought the hammock seat and the little lady can still only handle about an hour and a half, im considering the mustang but im hesitant about spending the money and having the same results as the hammock.
I also have the RCX slip ons, I love the sound, I got mine through westend motorsports and they came with the exhaust gasket...
kevin parsons I'm leaning towards the Mustang seat.
I have owned both, i dont really see a difference for passenger. I wouldnt spend the money if you already own the hammock. tell your passenger to toughen up :)
@@YourResidentSerb Shouldn't have to "toughen up" spending $20k!
lol i dont disagree but the heritage is a bit tougher for passengers vs the road king. Its a give and take. you may want to look at a corbin seat.
Man it really sounds like you need to quit crying about your new bike praising the old bikes and just go sell your new one and buy an old one I think everybody in this comment section can agree that you’ve done nothing but bash the new one and praise the old one but yet here you are with an 18

I only 2018 Heritage Softail 114 I am interested in the backrest if you are still selling it
I meant I have a 2018 heritage softtail 114 so if you are still interested in selling it I would like to get that from you. Oh by the way, nice bike
Hey, how's the heritage haven't seen any more video about the bike. Hope you still have the bike.
PS. Are you still want to sale your sissy bar and rack, if you are let me know my email d1109jimenez@yahoo.com

You should talk for a few more hours before you get to the point...
To much black it sucks !! BECAUSE like you say because to black .
