No One is Talking About the Harley Heritage. Why They Should...

The Heritage is not the most popular Harley… but after putting almost 10,000 miles on the the larger Harley baggers and about 2,500 miles on the 730 lb Heritage, I’ve come to a conclusion: it’s my favorite Harley.

Doodle, you are correct. The Heritage is the best choice for many riders due to its lower weight and seat height. The low seat height makes backing up the Heritage much easier than any of the touring models.

[@johnquinn9191]

I couldn't agree more. My 2012 Heritage took me comfortably (except for rain in some spots) 7800 miles in 30 days. I turned 67 on that trip.

[@77batrider73]

I totally agree. My wife and I ride our 2010 heritage all over the place. Currently we have 105k miles on it with no interest in upgrading. Hopefully one day she will get one of her own but for now it is a great 2 up touring bike for us

[@bikerbrian6452]

Love my 2019 114. Added heated grips. Does everything I need for long and short rides. Some call it an old man’s bike. That’s fine I’m an old dude. Great video.😊

[@lovingmylifeasIage6741]

I agree. I've owned 2 Street Glides and traded in my 2017 Street Glide for my 2022 Heritage after just one test ride on it. It is lighter which makes it more maneuverable for my short legs. I've almost put the same amount of miles on it that I put on my Street Glide in 4 years. I did put a back rest and taller bars on it. I rotated the bars back so I can be more comfortable. I can sit straight up without my shoulders being forward leaning so my neck isn't in a strain. The seat is so comfortable that I wouldn't want to waste my money on any other seat that may not be as good. I did add engine guards first thing along with the heel shifter. I romp on it down the straights and take curves really well. Love this bike and probably wont have another Harley because I am 70 years old. I have a 2018 Iron 1200 Sportster and just bought a 2023 ZX4RR. I have the perfect stable now.

[@jfaulk5717]

1997 Heritage owner here. Old Evo has 45k miles on it and I’d take it to Cali tomorrow from Louisiana!

[@jeffmatlowwildcattattoo523]

I've got a 2004 Heritage,and while being a bit heavier than the other softails of that era,it handles beautifully. A LePera "bare bones" seat takes it down to about 24 1/2" and really puts you in the bike. A big plus is when not taking a trip, strip off the bags, windshield, passenger seat and you've got a cool looking bike( try that with a Road glide)

[@MsDrae09]

Yes! I did the same with my 2018 Heritage and it looked really cool. My students at an elementary school like my bike best when I have the bags off.

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

An early release (just by a day :P) for my members! Thanks for being here and hope you enjoy

[@kennyh3443]

Nice review. I have a 2018 Heritage Softail Classic, 107 cubic inches, in Vivid Black. I love the bike! Being 63 years old with a service-connected disability, the bike is so light, maneuverable, nimble and comfortable. There are so many accessories that you can get for the bike. I also did a stage two upgrade, and the torque on it is unbelievable. And, if you take the windshield and the bags off, you now have a Heritage Softail Deluxe. I highly recommend the bike.

[@johnanderson9735]

I agree 💯. The weight is a big factor and the Heritage does everything you said well.

[@FullTankAdventures]

LOVE the Heritage, especially since the redesign in 2018. Kept its cool retro looks and handles REALLY well.

[@matthewbodnar3510]

Thank you for putting out this video. I’ve had my Heritage for over a year and I love it. I recently installed a back rest and that’s been a game changer. I’ve also installed a slightly taller windshield and barely get any buffeting. You can install bigger hard bags on the Heritage if you change the exhaust setup, but for me that will have to wait. Plus the 114 on a bike that weighs 100-200 lbs less than the other touring bikes is awesome. Even though it had the Softail Frame and not the Touring Frame I think it’s a very comfortable ride for long distances.

[@Bill0167]

I love my 2016 Heritage! This is my second Heritage overall; I love my Amber (the color scheme is Amber Whisky)! I rode about 16K this year, and I 100% agree with you on the long haul (I have a travel bag that attaches to my sissy bar) and the ease of using daily. I have to admit, I don't get that mileage you mentioned. I get around 40 miles per gallon. I am adding a Feuling 543 Cam kit next week; I'm so excited to see the improved performance... Great Review Doodle!

[@daoudmh1]

Before I bought my 2019 Road Glide Special, I took a trip to visit a friend in Denver and when I got there I tried to rent a Road Glide so we could ride the Rocky Mountain National Park. Eagle Rider didn't have any Road Glides available so I begrudgingly accepted a Heritage. To my surprise the Heritage was amazing!! Best bike I have ever ridden up to that point! A year later I bought my RGS because I like having the GPS and sound system built in. Once in a while I find myself on the fence between keeping the RGS or selling/trading it for a new Heritage.... Such a badass bike!

[@kawasakisean1]

I’m in the exact same situation!

[@kennethcooley3445]

I've owned two Heritage HD's. A new 2015 and a new 2018 anniversary. The 2015 gave me a ride from Illinois to Needles California in 2015 for Sturis 75th and all the national parks westward ho. 5600 miles in 22 days. Great bike. Soft non-locking bags were an issue.

[@LinuxHurts]

I LOVE that Doodle loves motorcycles...

[@specialed5098]

You are so right on with the Heritage I have owned over 48 or 49 bikes every make and model and have been on the Heritage for the last 3 years I can't believe I waited so long. Another thing is I was only watching your videos off and on but now I am going back and watching as many as I can. You Lady are such a knowledgeable person keep making videos, please

[@ridingwithralph3491]

Great video Doodle. I recently purchased a 2023 Heritage 114. I wanted a classic retro but modern HD. I currently own (2) HD Road Glides; and I immediately noticed the difference in weight and handling when comparing them. The Heritage has become my daily driver. I'm ready to take it on a long trip.

[@StephaneDemers]

Still one of the best motorcycle channels, plain talk from a true enthusiast. Well done Doodle and Merry Christmas

[@generalsirconn1545]

Your observation of the heritage is absolutely on point.. compared to the other touring bikes💯💕

[@charleyrider9775]

Hey Miss Doodle. After riding several of the other Baggers I must agree that the Heritage Classic is probably the unsung hero in Harley's lineup. I have done 500 mile days on my 22 Heritage and after adding the matching tour pack I can honestly say that I can pack as much gear as I really need to take for multiple day rides. And the Beautiful part is for me at 5 ft 7 in it's a perfect bike for long or short distance rides, to and from work or just putting around town. And as someone who has multiple motorcycles I can honestly say that if I had to reduce the herd to one I would keep my heritage.

[@Genxslacker1]

Agreed! I have a 2014 Heritage and it's my do (almost) anything bike. It's comfortable and agile enough for a daily rider and it's great on long trips.

[@dmenke]

I have a 97 Heritage Softail CLassic, and I love it.

[@mkebikers]

I couldn't agree more! My daily is a Street Glide, but my wife has a Heritage and it is great! Also, last April, my dad and I went to Las Vegas and rented a couple Heritages and went all over on them. So easy, so intuitive, so classic!!

[@portugeek75]

My 2021 Heritage just hit 5000 miles and looking forward to putting 5000 more. It’s just a great overall cruiser.

[@hectornavarrete766]

I love my 2005 Heritage Classic. It is definarely a touring bike

[@fmagalhaes1521]

I am an Electra Glide Classic guy. The first Harley that I ever rode was a 1995 Electra Glide Classic in 1995. When I bought my first Harley, it was a 1994 Electra Glide Classic. I have gotten used to it to the point that I will stick with it until I die.

[@tvd1188]

Great review! An underrated bike for sure. Though, I had the same exact concerns as you, minus the seat height. But after test riding them all (HD makes it easy to try all their bikes) I went with a Pan America. I'm mostly using it for touring and not off road, but it's nice to have the option. Ride safe out there

[@DK-xy8gk]

I have a 21 Heritage and just added the hogworkz saddle bag conversion kit. Gives you the full size touring bags and almost doubles your storage. Plus I like the look of the hard bags on the heritage!

[@jeffreylevin1113]

100%. Heritage is a solid touring and compare to a bagger lite weight to ride.

[@spydersan1019]

I’d have to agree after my day today. Went to ride the ST for the first time, “knowing” I’d fall in love. Pegs were too high for me, and I’m only 5’10”. Sales guy told me I should try the Heritage. Didn’t think I’d like it but man it’s comfortable and actually felt more responsive and better-sounding! Can’t go wrong with a classic!

[@tjatkinson88]

Totally agree. Just got a new one and love it way more than my Ultra Classic. The Ultra is top heavy and a beast to handle in small spaces. The Heritage is low and quick. It feels more like the Sportster I had but with the comfort and ability of a bagger.

[@RFWieder]

I've had my '04 Heritage for over 17 years and what I love about it is it's versatility!! It's light enough to use as a daily commuter yet quite capable of a cross country trip!!

[@Rickmac22]

Great review! I really try to appreciate HD. And considering the huge number of positive comments from HD fans, I must confess, they can’t all be crazy. But YOU ride a Triumph, I ride a Kawasaki, and $22k will buy a whole lot of bike from those brands… I mainly do 25 to 35k touring a year and just can’t see myself on a Harley and I live in the States!

[@Jerry92128]

Great video. I totally agree with you. I have had 2 Road Kings, 3 Deluxes and a Road Glide. My 2022 Heritage is my favorite so far.

I agree 100% The Heritage has always been the best bang for your buck. I really enjoy hearing a woman give her views on riding bikes and traveling on them. Keep up the great work.

[@dontworrybehappy8080]

My girlfriend has a 2018 Heritage 114. Its comfortable and quick. She's got the side bags and a trunk that she has the option to use for more storage. Its her dream bike.

I just picked my 23 Heritage 120th edition in that beautiful heirloom red fade today.

[@stephenpikaahu8883]

Bravo Doodle another awesome post blessings

[@bentwrenches8744]

For years I let people in the community keep me away from the heritage because it was an "old man bike" and I lost a lot of time being comfortable. I also really like the triple headlight aesthetic that calls back to the elder models instead of the fashion forward models that look dated after 5 or so years. The heritage is a lot of bike for the money. Could be a 20 year bike for a lot of people dedicated to riding and looking for a keeper. Great review. Thanks for that.

[@jos642]

Love my 2013 anniversary bought her new and will be with me always 🙏❤️🙏💯

[@markh.harris9271]

Love my Heritage Springer Softail (2003); great bike, classic appeal, gorgeous. marcus

[@derekp2674]

Don't tell anyone, but I always used to reckon that Heritage Springers had superior high speed handling to all the other Softails. I know this is a bit of an academic point, because no-one ever goes fast on a Harley ;-)

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

I definitely have a soft part in my heart for a heritage. It's a great looking bike!

[@CGR89]

Love the look of the modern retro bikes like the heritage. I have an Indian super chief limited myself.

[@Recycledhooligan]

Might have to look at these used.reminds me of my Honda Shadow Sabre 1100.

[@philpeters5463]

I love my 2018 Heritage. It is the best of both worlds. Great around town, and great for trips. I've taken several long trips from Ohio to Sturgis, to Arkansas, and to New England, among others. I agree about storage. I added a luggage rack and sissy bar so I can pack another bag. I bought some Harley luggage. When I am riding solo on a long trip, the bag sits on the passenger seat instead of the luggage rack, and then I have a nice back rest as well!

[@alexandrashippy8373]

I have a 2018 Heritage, and love it. I have had the bike for two years, and you are right the bags are on the smaller side when traveling long distance, but do work 😊

[@richardvarnold6245]

I know what you are talking about, I maybe tall at 6' but being 66 years old dealing with a lighter motorcycle is what I want. I have an older 2003 BMW R 1200CL that weighs 680# that doesn't sound like much until I dropped in some sand earlier this year. I'd hate to man handle a 900# full dresser, which would have required a tow truck. Keep up the good work, really enjoy your videos.

[@virginiatrailcameravideos]

Cool video. I'm a newer rider and I bought an Indian Super Chief Limited. I had a heck of a time finding any mechanic willing to work on the spoke tires. I also had concerns about fixing a flat on the road. I ended up swapping out the spoke wheels to alloy/mag wheels. Doesn't look as "retro" but still looks good in my opinion.

[@larrynorsworthy8582]

For me, cast wheels all day long. Tire plug kit is always in the bag.

[@bassistguy]

When I bought my heritage, I test rode the lowrider ST as well. For me, the lowrider was very uncomfortable as it felt completely unnatural the way I sat on the bike. I feel completely comfortable and natural sitting on the heritage. I love the bike so far!

[@recklessrt]

I've got a 2017 Roadster, a 2022 Heritage Classic, and 900lb 2017 CVO Street Glide. I call my Heritage Classic my Goldilocks bike. It sits low, is relatively light, isn't top heavy, is way nimble, and manueverable. Plus I have a rack for extended touring. The bike does everything well.

[@derekp2674]

Thanks for a nice review. I haven't ridden Harleys since about 2004 but from about 1993 until then I owned a few myself and had easy access to many demo bike. For European road conditions, I judged the Heritage to be the best tourer, as the bike most likely to encourage visiting and exploring wayside towns, as opposed to just blasting along motorways. So it is nice to hear that this has not changed since then.

[@stanleydragon9548]

I shifted from a 2019 Road King to a 2021 Heritage Classic. Absolutely loved the Heritage, it did everything well, and was surprisingly nimble for a 728 lb bike. I did miss the extra weight of a touring model on long highway rides though. I'm 5'10" and a tad north of 220 lbs so the touring models seem to fit me better. Traded the Heritage in on a 2023 Street Glide last July. I'm not sure what changes Harley may have made to their touring models since I had my Road King, but this new Street Glide feels lighter and more maneuverable than the Road King did. No problem going 240 to 320 kilometers (150 to 200 miles) on the Street Glide between fuel/rest stops and not feeling beat up when I get off of it. I'm very impressed with these newer Harleys.

[@michaelschaefer3124]

When I bought my 21 Heritage, I first took a Heritage for a test ride and really liked it. It was comfortable, handled well and had a very nice ride. Then I drove a Harley Sport Glide and before I even got out of the parking lot I could tell that the Heritage was the best bike for me. Three years later, it still puts a big smile on my face and I enjoy every ride.😊

[@dubaidaddy13]

Enjoyed the endorsement on my current ride. Taken my ‘21 HC on several week long road trips. Added a trunk and a dry bag on the pillion if needed. Stock seat has been fine for 6-7 hr days. Also use it as a commuter.

[@izzojoseph2]

This is awesome! I’m glad to hear someone else say this. While I first fell in love with the slim, this is my fave also!

[@kingkrimson8771]

True, the Heritage doesn't sell in the same numbers as the Street Glide or Road Glide, but I wouldn't say it's unpopular. In fact I wouldn't be surprised to see its sales increase due to Harley's buyer base aging and wanting a somewhat lighter machine than their full-dress tourers.

[@armadilllo]

I would have bought the heritage except for the tube tires and single disc, fixing a flat not fun with tubes. I just can't get past the look of that fairing on the ST and not being able to remove it. I liked the sport glide and went to buy one but they quit making it.

[@FLHCSfan68]

I love my 2022 Heritage Classic 114 in Redline Red and Black with Cast Wheels. The Stock Seat is the most comfortable Stock Seat I've experienced. Heritage Classic Rides like a Cloud. The only initial change for riding comfort is the handlebars. I'm going with 16" Apehanger Handlebars

[@bobwarren7735]

You nailed it. I'm on my second Heritage. Love the retro look

[@jonathancriner2934]

I got the 120 year anniversary after not riding for over a decade (and only riding like 7k miles at that time). I love it. Ride it to work almost every day, took it on a quick road trip 800 in two days. Scraped floorboards in the twisties on the weekends. Great for the all around rider.

[@scarhart53]

Hey, just the fact that it comes with a passenger seat and pegs, a windshield, bags and a 5 gallon gas tank are all major pluses! Most softails have only a 3.5 gal tank and what guy doesn't want to take a girl for a ride once in a while or not have to stop for gas two or three times a day?

[@tim84k10]

As a smaller male rider, I can't see giving up the comfort of the touring frame, but you make a convincing argument that it is a tougher decision than I thought. I have a dyna and street glide, I guess I need a softail now.

[@MsDrae09]

So true! I have a 2015 Street Glide Special that I put a chopped tour pack on and I rode that bad boy for 75,000 miles. Then I thought I should have 2 bikes so I got a 2018 Heritage 114. OMG - I love that bike! It is so much lighter than my fully loaded SGS and I can back up the Heritage with no assistance. I've taken it on road trips and It is just perfect for me since I'm now 67 and not getting any younger ;-) Heritage for the win!!

[@mcdgtodd]

I rode this bike when it first came out in 2018 softails came out! I gotta say, it was absolutely a surprise and shock to my system. I've owned a few Heritage Evo models and they were death traps! But the new Heritage was lighter and actually really nimble! Did I buy one, NOPE! I got a nice 2017 Road Glide Ultra that I will never sell while I'm alive! Have fun young lady!

[@shamelssmedia4376]

I have a 2020 heritage and I am the same height. I find it to be my favorite newer bike also. My favorite though is a flh shovelhead. I put my feat on the rear pegs for long rides. Really comfortable position.

[@stuartheaydon-lc6qe]

Hi Doodle, I'm an old skool biker & ride a 05 Fatboy. Best bike I reckon!! ❤

[@youjaymair]

Love the Heritage. I rode over 2000 mls on Route 66 and surrounds and then later did a "Fire and Ice tour, from Vegas, Death valley, Idaho, Bonniville Salt flats, Glacial National Park across the Pan handle to Washington then all down on Hwy 101 to Morro Bay then over the mountains into Mohave Desert and back to Vegas on another Heritage. Unfortunately the Heritage in Australia, where I come from is sooooo expensive. So riding a Suzuki Boulevarde, very close to the Heritage but only $10,000 compared to $38,000. On my last Boulevarde I rode over 135,000 klm. I love riding too. Thanks Doodle for your inspiration

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

That sounds amazing 😍

[@dynabungie]

The heritage is a solid bike. I test ride one when I was in the market, I ultimately went with the low rider st, mainly because I wanted the fast Johnny paint. Mechanically they are very similar especially the suspension

[@music531778]

You can get touring hardbags for a heritage like a roadking set up as well as a batwing. This will make a light touring bike with more room.

[@Switch_N_Gears]

My wife owns a heritage and show it a couple times so far in my videos. But anyways, I agree with your comments about the heritage as well. I ride a road glide and honestly her bike at times seems more comfortable than my bike! We have it set up like a Vicla and love the way it looks!

[@Switch_N_Gears]

Definitely an overlooked bike! Just wish they didn’t get rid of the deluxe!

[@frankponte4031]

Great video and good content Doodle. Sold my '13 Road King Anniversary and '15 CVO Road Glide Ultra this past Spring. Purchased a '23 BMW R1250RT for the performance, handling, technology and touring comfort but still missed whatever it was about riding Harley's for the last 56 years. Saw the new Harley Highway King in HiFi Orange and had to have it. Now they both share a stall in my garage and I make it a point to alternately ride them. Love them both. Get out and ride.

[@Daniel-zr7eo]

You should try a vintage bike! I've driven many bikes including those heavy big displacement bikes (I call them the dump trucks of motorcycles) off a showroom floor, and have gotten rid of all but my 73 Norton, Bonneville and 51 Shadow. Light, handle well, and have a soul unlike the push button bikes! Maybe an idea for a new segment? Love the vids, keep them coming!

[@ericcastro1600]

Light, looks decent and you can go whichever way you want with it really

[@markmcintosh7095]

I have 2018 114 Heritage. I also have a Low Rider st and the Heritage is my favorite Harley it does everything great. I put a Harley power cam and Harley slip ons which makes it a different bike.

[@calgreco8607]

I can see how you would like the new style, Heritage. For me 6 foot and 230 lbs. the bike is cramped my 2016 Heritage just feels right! It is my full tour bike!

[@brettdavis80]

I too purchased a 2022 Heritage September 2022. I road tested an early 2018 Heritage when they came out and really enjoyed it. However, I do not like spoked wheels on road bikes. Spoked wheels were the only thing that kept me from buying. Summer of 2022 saw another KZbinrs video showing their friend buying a new Heritage and it was equipped with cast wheels. Checked out Harley’s website and found both cast and spoked wheels offered. Sign Me Up! My dealer only had Heritages on the floor with spoked wheels. Told my sales lady I only wanted cast wheels. Didn’t take her long to find a dealer trade with cast wheels 😆 Sadly 2023 Heritages where only offered with spoked wheels only. Glad I was able to purchase mine when I did 😊

[@georgew1751]

Agreed, I have a 22 Heritage and I love the handling and the seat is fine for me. The bags are a little on the small side but I plan on putting a rack on it so I can add and remove a top case as needed. I think for a long trip I would put a sheepskin seat cover on.

[@neilm0369]

Good morning Doodle. You checked every box that led me to trade 2011 CVO Road Glide for 2019 Heritage. Largest factor was ease of town riding (potholes, ruts, etc. every Spring). No regrets! Merry Christmas to you & yours.🎄

[@pmdinaz]

I miss my Heritage! Thanks for the reminder of how good this bike really is. Owned it for a year, wife couldn't passenger on it, so it had to go, sadly. I put 30k on that thing in that one year, just like all my othe bikes I own. 20 to 30k per year. I can say with quite a bit of experience, this is a *fantastic* bike.

[@philipstaite4775]

400 miles into my '24 Heritage. It is the perfect bike for me. Most of my riding is solo commuting. In fact when I had my Sportster it was 100% an around town bike. The Heritage opens up possibilities. Now taking my wife to dinner or to get an ice cream some summer evening isn't an uncomfortable experience. Taking off for several hours at a time - sounds like fun not a test of wills. Even planning a solo road trip to another state, a 5 hour run each way that would have been "only to prove I can" on the Sportster, now sounds like a great long weekend. I've ridden the Road King, Street Glide, and Road Glides. I could see myself on a Road King, but the Heritage is the commute/tour mix tilted the right way for me - towards the majority of my riding.

[@yosam5184]

Yup, had a 2011 and was shocked by how comfortable it was to ride all day. I traded it for a Ultra Limited because I had to have cruise control...LOL! Now many many bikes later (I ain't saying I'm old) weight does matter and I've been looking at that 120th red one which does have cruise and looks great. Dang it forgot to add the Low Rider ST, thanks for the reminder. Enjoyed the review.

[@BadBlue32]

I just happened to watch a review of the 2024 Heritage Softail and then saw your video. I’m looking to buy this year and have always been set on the Road King. I have to admit however, after seeing the last two videos, I’m totally sold that the Heritage is the best bike for my needs. It has the best stock suspension offered by HD, you can add on the touchscreen system and there are some other modifications on the 2024 that I like. The colors in 2024 are also so much nicer!! The classic look, low seat height, cruise, 114 M8, Brembo braking, overall weight and updated gauge cluster just has me smitten with this bike. Maybe if I started a KZbin channel I could afford my down payment!! 😂😂😂

[@rcud1]

I have the 2018 Heritage Classic 114 and its been pretty good for me. I had a older Street Glide and wanted to get a Road King, but I wanted the 114 and they didn't offer that in the RK in 2018. So I test road the Heritage and instantly loved it. I don't take as many trips as I used to so for most day riding the Heritage is great. I upgraded the cam and exhaust and a few other things and its been great bike.

[@gregd.88]

Had a 93 Heritage. I loved that bike! I sold it in 2001 after being diagnosed with parkinson's disease.

[@donpet8258]

So agree ! On my 3rd heritage. But Its a tie with my 16 dyna switchback. But when it cross country time. 22 road glide limited wins ! & the 900lbs is what makes it so planted

[@simongilbert2704]

Excellent video. I agree that the Heritage is a great bike. It may be my next bike. Between it and the LR ST.

62 years on bikes and over 250,000 miles. From Beemers to the Brits and Japanese bikes, I ridden most of them. Harleys are for highways in my book, 50 miles to 2000. I agree with you on the Heritage, although I like the Road King as well. The others are either too heavy or too much for posing for me and I'm 6'2".

Love my new Heritage and the 114 engine. Been on Roadglide and Challenger, but I don’t need a big screen TV to distract me anymore

Had a 20 heritage, couldn’t take the buffeting from the windscreen, went to the street glide, no buffeting, at 5’4” and 140 lbs, I don’t have any trouble with the extra heft or height, nice video.

I have a “shaggy dog” too, a 2012 Switchback in Sunglo Red. I love my bike!

Totally agree - I recently bought a much older Heritage, and as someone who's used to "lighter" bikes like BMW sports tourers and BMW GSs, I think my project Heritage is much more enjoyable to ride and easier to handle than a full-on bagger. I've had some experience with the latter and they always felt too heavy to me.

Heritage was my first bike, 2017. I still have the Heritage and with the 103 motor and a stage 2 upgrade. Great bike! my only complaint about the 2017 is that it is too low to the ground so that when you do tight turns the boards scrape earlier than the Road King (which I have as well). Yep love the Heritage...
