Absolutely the best bike that Harley ever made hands-down

[@andyedmond248]

Beautifully set up brother. I turn 65 at the end of this year and I have owned almost all other brands of motorcycles, except Harley Davidson. I have major medical issues with my legs and back (Aussie veteran), so Weight and comfort are paramount. After a cr*p load of research and test rides. the Heritage fits the bill perfectly. I'm 6'2, 235lbs (on a good day), and the ergonomics are great. This bike will be my birthday pressy to myself. Will definitly fit the riders back rest (solo rider), and no doubt the stage one set up, and the gaurds. Do we ever stop spending money on our bikes? Anyway, who care's, can't take it with you, so enjoy it before you hit the finish line! Again, love the bike and the channel brother. All the best from Australia.;

[@GARamblinMan]

I bought my Heritage as a present to myself when I was getting ready to turn 65. I had never owned a Harley-Davidson and just wanted one. I have not been disappointed. I think you will love it. I did spend a lot of money adding things but it was all for the better. I’m retiring in a few months and Australia is on my list of places I want to go and ride. I’m looking forward to exploring your great country. Thanks for your military service and thanks for watching my ramblings! Ride safe.

Very nicely done . I did the same lighting upgrade to my’23 but also added the Custom Dynamics modulator for the taillight… really gets peoples attention while braking .

I didn’t even know they had a modulator. I’m going to look into getting that. Thanks for the info and thanks for watching!

[@jeffhankins6256]

I love the bike setup, I also have a 2018 Heritage In a 107 you can’t go wrong with this bike. If I could offer a couple of suggestions… 1. Motorcycle Drop Guards they go on the engine guards (crash bars) they give an extra layer of protection and are easy to install. They cost about $350 In the event you do resell the bike they help the resell value if you ever did drop the bike. 2. The phone mount I see you have on the bike I would replace, I had something similar and dropped my phone twice at high speed. I recommend Rokform mounts. The mounts run about $120 The car runs about $45 of the don’t have a matching case the universal adapter costs $20 and it does work. I used the universal adapter for about 3 years before upgrading my phone. 3. Last I would check out ClearWater Lights. I will admit they are pricey but worth it. Those lights put out more light than your headlights and they are adjustable. I run them at about 20% power normally. When I hit the horn or high beams they go full power. Just my thoughts, either way your bike is a beautiful bike enjoy your ride. Jeff

[@AnywhereRider]

It turned out nicely. I’m surprised it didn’t come with highway/crash bars. But you make great points about the need for them. Especially about picking it up once dropped!

[@GARamblinMan]

And I know that for sure when I dropped it in my driveway the first day I owned it. Tried a tight slow speed u-turn and it didn’t go well. Had to get a neighbor to help me pick it up. I couldn’t do it by myself with it laying flat on the pavement. The crash bars went on very shortly after that. They should be stock on any larger touring style motorcycle. I guess HD doesn’t consider it a touring bike. Thanks for watching!

[@onlyhereonce7290]

[@SparkyonOxy175]

I bought a 23 heritage 3 months ago, and I absolutely love it!! I just put new exhaust on it, and it’s changed the ride so much for the better. I went the cheap route and put a $300 set I got off Amazon, just to see what it’d do… and damn!!! I’m not a fan of the saddlebags, they look too cookie cutter, or cheap, but other than that, and maybe different wheels, just depending on your style, I wouldn’t change a damn thing about the bike. It’s amazing!

[@GARamblinMan]

It’s a great bike. I just wish the saddle bags were a little bigger and better quality. Thanks for watching!

Love the bike and the accessories! I think the Heritage will be my next bike. I know you rode a Boulevard prior to this, as mentioned in previous videos. Did you notice how small the Hertiage felt as opposed th the Boulevard? I ride an 08 C109RT and I sat on the Heritage yesterday, and the Heritage just felt small. Love the Heritage and what you've done with yours. Look forward to see where it goes from here

[@GARamblinMan]

Thanks for the comments. I rode a C50T and the Heritage feels exactly the same as my previous C50T. It’s about 100 lbs heavier probably due to the larger engine. But I think it handles a little better. I love it so far. Thanks again for watching and you won’t go wrong if you get a Heritage. Just an I overall great motorcycle.

[@ThePNWRiderWA]

I just sold mine. I have had two of them and they were great. For myself a heel shifter is the first thing I did and a phone mount so I don’t get lost.

That is a very nice Harley Davidson Heritage, been thinking about some heated grips. Those saddleman bags are the best! I think we have a similar tail light... Thanks for sharing!

[@GARamblinMan]

You won’t go wrong with the Kahuna heated grips. They are very comfortable as just a regular grip and in the winter they are toasty. I like the Saddleman bag because it’s just the right size for this bike. Fits perfectly on the luggage rack or rear seat and holds a good bit. It also has a hi visibility yellow rain cover.

Something random you can consider is a batwing fairing, so you can install a speaker system to listen to music on the road. I just installed one on my 2017 Heritage yesterday and going to do a test ride today.

[@GARamblinMan]

Good luck with the fairing. I thought about it but I kind of like the windshield. When I do listen to music while riding, which is not often, I Bluetooth it through my Sena headset. Thx for watching and enjoy the Heritage!

I have the same year bike in Billiard Burgundy. Same rack and passenger backrest. I put on Tab slip-one with Zombie baffles. Beautifully loud. Dynovision tune. Blacked out the mirrors and fuel caps. I also have a Mustang touring seat without the driver backrest. Thinking about getting one. And I put the engine and saddlebag guards on. And I agree, it’s the perfect bike for me. Very stable at 80 on the highway and the Softail frame is excellent. The bike is also 100 lbs lighter than a Road King. Love my 2020. Thx for the video.

[@MKandKCCampbell]

Oh, and I did the lights and lay down plate also.

[@GARamblinMan]

Sounds like we think alike when it comes to this motorcycle and the upgrades. I had a Mustang seat without the backrest on my previous motorcycle and it was nice but I decided to add the backrest when I ordered a seat for the Heritage and I really love it. It makes it so comfortable cruising down the highway. I was just out a few days ago on a lonely backroad highway with the cruise control set, leaned back in that comfortable seat and was just thinking what a great bike. Thanks for watching!

[@moeharrison2326]

Great video with tons of information. I have a 2020 Heritage and absolutely love it! What electrical kit did you get for the heated grips?

[@GARamblinMan]

2018 and later Softail models require the Electrical Connection Kit that I think is Part #69201750. Sometimes these part numbers change. Just ask the guy at the parts counter to order you the correct kit to fit your bike. Currently about $40 I think on HD’s website. Thanks for watching and the comments. Enjoy your Heritage!

You’ve done a great job on that bike. Just picked up a 2012 Heritage and was wandering what model seat you put on. There’s so many on their site. Thinking about doing fork mounted wind deflectors. Getting a lot of buffeting. I’m used to having a fairing. Thanks.

[@GARamblinMan]

Not sure if the exact model number. I just entered make and model of my motorcycle on the Mustang Seat website and it gave me the choices that would fit this motorcycle. I considered fork mounted wind deflectors but decided against it. I like some air coming on to me as I ride. I’ve never had a bike with a fairing so I’m used to it. Enjoy your Heritage.

He just gave up posting new videos on KZbin. I hope that’s just a passing thing on his part. I always enjoyed his vlogs. By the way, he sold his Heritage and bought a Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro. He told me he just needed a change and the Triumph is a lot lighter and easier on his old bones. He still has a couple of Harley-Davidson Sportsters. Thanks for watching and ride safe!

Hi George from Ireland . I've got the very same bike here. Exactly like yours and same tank badge. So that clears up for me which year model it is. I too added the VH slip ons but I reckon I'll need to switch back soon to originals as I'm planning a trip to France and Spain in October ..They are strict on emissions there..in any case, do you find they make the bike a bit noisy for long rides? I do love the sound but miss the smoother sound when she's at 60 plus. My next thing is the lights..have fine the engine guard .

[@GARamblinMan]

Too bad about the rules in France and Spain. It sounds like a great trip. I don’t find these Vance & Hines Eliminator 300’s too loud. They have a nice low rumble I like. I do wear ear plugs on long trips to protect my ears though. Have fun on your trip!

The stock seat on the Heritage is not bad and in fact pretty comfortable for shorter rides, but I loved my Mustang seat I had on my previous motorcycle so I decided to upgrade to one for the Heritage. This time I opted for the backrest too and it’s a game changer. Super comfortable seat and back support now for all day rides with no problems. I love it. Pricey but worth it in my opinion.

The mounts run about $120 The car runs about $45 of the don’t have a matching case the universal adapter costs $20 and it does work. I used the universal adapter for about 3 years before upgrading my phone. 3. Last I would check out ClearWater Lights. I will admit they are pricey but worth it. Those lights put out more light than your headlights and they are adjustable. I run them at about 20% power normally. When I hit the horn or high beams they go full power. Just my thoughts, either way your bike is a beautiful bike enjoy your ride. Jeff
