How to Test Drive a 20 year old Harley Davidson Heritage

[@bwma]

Picked up a 1998 STC at an estate sale. It was dusty and covered in cigarette smoke. Brought it home, cleaned it up and put a battery in. Turn the knob and find out it only had 197 miles. I almost couldn't believe the OD. Started to look close and i found all the original build stickers on the underside of the tank and fenders. Born on 4/23/98 at 4:13am. I am a motorcyclist have had many brands including vintage British. This thing is awesome. Love the torque and sound. Put larger jets in and it is a fun putt. i will have it for many years to come.

I just sold my 2002 vtx 1800 with 55,000 miles on it took the money and bought a low mileage 1997 Heritage Softail. and couldn't be happier I liked my Honda but I love my Harley I'll never sell it its a keeper I can't quit looking at it I'm in love with it .lol

Best wishes brother love my 2013 heritage got her new

[@davejeffries5001]

Handle bars are bent. Right side is lower then left. Look at the lights.

[@WoodyRides]

David Jeffries how do you know it’s not the lights or the camera angle?

[@davejeffries5001]

WoodyOn2Wheels To me it just looks like the bars, Something just doesnt look right.

[@craigoldsen1667]

Yeah, something's effed up.

[@scottbedsaul925]

the 93 Nostalgia was the moo Glide the 94 was the silver and white the 95 was the black combo and the 96 was the green and silver I was lucky enough to have one of each through the years and after 25 years and 25 different bikes these were still some of my favorites

[@SuperThunder911]

I have a 2000 Heritage Softail Classic with only 18000 miles,loving it 👍

[@resinductelec]

In 1993 Harley Davidson introduce the flstn known as The Nostalgia. They were white and black and had a cow black and white seat became known as the moo Glide. The next year they were green without the moo Glide seat

[@Srkcycles]

+Gary Charlton wow I had no idea I thought it was called the moo glide thanks for the info

[@wolco003]

Srkcycles And in 2005 the FLSTN was brought back...now the Deluxe. The 93 FLSTN is also called the Cow Glide. I ride my 2006 FLSTN carbureted (last year) daily. They are now FLSTNI.

[@harleyadam4813]

@@wolco003 they were designated as FLSTNI until 2006. In 2007, Harley-Davidson made all of their motorcycles fuel injected and did away with the I on the end of the model designations because it was pointless.

[@wolco003]

Thanks!

I need wiring diagrams for 1996 softtale battery charging sistum and No ignition lights

[@woofles3theking94]

I have a 1998 heritage softail and I’m loving it

[@Hoglife]

I own a 2003 Heritage Softail Classic,100 year edition and the bike is killer,only 23,000 on her and I expect her and I to be together for a long time🤘🏻

[@twatson6252]

I live my 95 Heritage softail the Evo is the motor that saved Harley.

[@chrishines2874]

What is a good reasonable site with the double seat mine came with a solo seat and I'm looking for a double seat for my 1996 Harley heritage Softail same paint scheme as this bike love the purple

[@chuckmclaughlin8403]

Can u rubber mount these bikes?

[@mattwoody1089]

Can you do the Yamaha rd 400 please

[@christopherhuggins3212]

Could you test ride the fz1 I'm really interested in that bike

[@ababbit7461]

I have a 1997 HD Softail Heritage Springer. What you did not show is getting on the highway and going 70 mph. Solid mounted motor to the frame. It will vibrate your teeth implants out at that speed. Even though it vibrates at higher speeds, I like the heck out of my Softail. If I want to go fast, I ride my Goldwing 1800, but for cruisin' on down the roadway, you can't beat an Evo motor with the gear driven cam, in a Softail platform! If I want to go fast and cruise, I ride my HD Road King CVO with the 103 cu in. That softail you have is a nice bike.

[@seththomas9105]

Then you don't know what it's like to ride a Shovel with a four speed.

[@ababbit7461]

@@seththomas9105 How about my 1976 XL1000 with a stroker kit in it... Yep, even the bezel ring flew off of it on Hwy 29, in Lakeport, CA. It flew off and stuck in Army field jacket epaulet. The head light stayed in some how. So, I have had experience with the 70s HDs....I called that Sporty, "Da Beast." Four speed paint shaker.

[@seththomas9105]

@@ababbit7461 You, sir are a glutton for punishment! LOL. I've got two Shovels and two Evo's and one of them is a rigid so I do feel your pain.

[@ababbit7461]

@john I had that with Sportsters. My 1997 Sportster vibrated like heck. My 2000 Sportster as fairly smooth. Both were frame mounted engines. My 1976 Sportster (Iron Head) vibrated so much, I could barely see at 60 mph. My 2007 Sportster was rubber mounted and of course was smooth at speeds, but the front tire almost bounced off the pavement at idle. My 1990 883 Sportster was fairly smooth until I had a Buell 1200 kit put in it, then it vibrated pretty bad. So, I guess it all depends on the motor and how much out of tolerance or within tolerance all the part are together making it either smooth, not so smooth or a Kangaroo in the making.

[@tipturkey1283]

noticed the bars are twisted in the display picture, came here to confirm. definitely look bent

[@lisar3006]

I have a low mileage like new 2002 FLSTC I would trade for a good Evo FLSTC even up Nothing wrong with it I just want a simpler bike I can work on.

[@chrisconstructionclark6432]

I have a seafoam 99 covered in the garage I Love to ride 2ND stage Vance Hanes Long pipes. 💓

[@68weebee]

The Heritage Softail is my favorite Softail Harley Davidson! Best looking Softail Harley Davidson has to me! Sean, how does the Heritage Softail feel compared to the Road King?

[@68weebee]

You answered my question father into the video. Thank you ☺

[@dennism103]

There are also a lot of companies stealing from great employees by not paying them what they are worth.

[@kenbuttone8775]

[@laks1946]

They all had evo motors

[@pcontiman]

and the way to test an older Harley is...? I enjoy the vids but the titles seem to be clickbait. Yes, I clicked.

[@Srkcycles]

+p contiman I be made almost 2000 videos I’m running out of title names lol. Please help

[@pcontiman]

Srkcycles ok, with 2000 vids, I'm not gonna tell you what to do. If possible though, impart your life experience knowledge of what can go wrong or what to look for on the used bikes you are demo-ing. Love the words of wisdom and the PA countryside. Also the softail history lesson.

[@Billy_Darley]

Misspelled titles are a dime a dozen here. Lol

[@dennism103]

Request? Acts 2:38
