I got a New Motorcycle! You won't believe what I bought?

[@hunt4life56]

Tall, I have the 2023 Anniversary edition. I am 6ft and 225 pounds and to me it is a great all around bike for around town or long rides. Love my bike!

[@stuartwillems3723]

Hello Tall, nice choice! Change: Wheels, Bags & Seat, Windscreen, lights and Pipes. Welcome to the Softail Family! 👊

[@paulpotempa8829]

Super cool . Build / mod stuff the younger guys can afford and get them hooked, they’ll become future riders/buyers. Build a Vicla style show and go hot rod

[@SoSpiteful]

Six speed transmission, bars, air cleaner, big bore kit, hard bags and send it!

[@bobyp10]

I would only change the lights and bars. "Keep Cruising and have a Blessed Day."

[@rayhjohnson]

Love Milwaukee. Don’t change it too much. It’s a Classic and needs to retain that special look. Anxious to see what you do.

[@TravelingTall]

Thank you, it'll still be Stock-ish 😃

[@darrellswaney1064]

Welcome to the softail ride you will love it

[@MKandKCCampbell]

2020 Heritage 114. Perfect all around bike for me. Handles like a dream. Super planted at 80 on the interstate. I’m 66, couldn’t be a better bike.

[@loyalhearted6101]

White wall tires for sure a light bar custom dynamic lights and a stage 2 engine upgrade

[@aforten17]

My favorite bike; my favorite year! Beautiful! 💖

[@TravelingTall]

Thank you

[@jessicagray3632]

You bought it because I bought one! I’m a new rider; tired of being a passenger. First bike was a 2021 Harley Sportster 48. Kept that bike for 4 months traded it in for a 2022 Harley Heritage Softail. Yes it handles like a dream - Jess in the west - Long Beach CA

[@jimwest3891]

I love that you purchased a Heritage and gave the Heritage props!!! I can't wait to see the mods you do to her to make her yours!! Well done, Tall!!

[@TravelingTall]

Thank you, I'm excited about the build.

[@imsurly7742]

I'm 6'3" and my first bike was a 1998 Softail Custom that I. bought in 2019 it was 21 years old at the time - they are great bikes, even though I'm currently riding a 22 RKS. Enjoy it!

[@darkhorse2reign]

Man, I LOVE the retro!!! Dang, I was thinking new bike (Indian or Harley) and now you got me thinking OLD (low mileage) bikes.

Blessing from the Motor City, the first Harley I ride was a 2003 Heritage Softail Classic and that started my love relationship with Harley Davidson. Peace n Love.

[@paulperrigo3517]

Cams, cam plate, push rods, lifters. 6 spd trans

[@cornellwrightington9581]

Gm Tall, if it was me, I would transform it into a Softail Deluxe. Get rid of the saddle bags, add some white walls, change the handlebars with a beach style look. give it that old school affect.😎

[@danielbates6284]

Well done tall! Great find & choice

[@TravelingTall]

Thank you

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Wow! That came out of left field! Congrats brother. I'm digging Milwaukee!

[@ceedee863]

You’re right on about the Heritage Classic. I traded my Road King Special for a 2023 Heritage because of my knees. It’s perfect! Great balance. My partner is 6’9’ and he can ride it without changing the seat. Awesome bike!

[@mingusbreeze]

Thanks, nice bike.

[@WestwindKennel]

Cool beans ! Awesome, love ur videos. You are a true gentleman, and Harley enthusiast, keep them videos a coming !

[@garyehrhardt3136]

Can't wait to see the build 👍

[@Harleydogcrownline]

I love my heritage. I've had Karma for ten years now and I wouldn't sell, trade or part with her. I put Hogworkz hard bags on her and they look great. Have fun with your new scoot my friend.

[@sotonek]

Can't wait to see what you do with this!! I like the name too!!

[@gregbruner9615]

Congrats! I owned two Heritage Classics, a 1999 & a 2008, and both were awesome rides. I put over 60K miles on them and never had a problem. Rode them to Colorado, thru the Rocky Mountains, thru Montana, down to Florida beaches and to Detroit then east thru Canada and down the east US coast back home to Indiana. Wish I could have kept the ‘08 but wife said only 1 motorcycle allowed. Traded that bike for a 2018 Road Glide, which is also proving to be an awesome ride. Take care and ride safe out there!

[@davidf67]

Just rode through Tennessee this week on the way home from Laughlin. Stopped in at Bootlegger HD in Knoxville to dry off. Saw the huge banner of Tall hanging out front. Just thought that was cool. Also Scobey, a sales rep, spent some time chatting with me about a 2019 RK that caught my eye while I was wringing out my gloves. Nice guy.

[@jryan134]

Rake it, 23” fat tire kit, improve suspension, new seat, 6 speed transmission, zippers engine work, dyno, new bars

[@Pompomgrenade]

Keep the feel of the hundredth anniversary but make it yours ✌️

[@donaldrigolo5641]

The 88 cu in motor was one of the best twin cams . Check and or replace your cam shoe tensioners , it is not the milage it is the age . That is a nice motorcycle

[@tz1592]

Congrats. I had a 99 Heritage Softtail for my first bike back in 2000. I loved my whitewall tires, I took off the bags & added a chrome swing-arm in the back, bars etc. Love that old school look. Have fun!

[@TravelingTall]

I need a chrome swing arm.

[@jonah1a3k]

Oh yeah very nice. True dual fish tails would be sweet on Milwaukee. Of course custom dynamics all the way around.

[@RidingandWrenching]

Congrats!! I like the look of the Heritage, but they seem so small

[@TravelingTall]

They are small but they handle great.

[@jessieholt9238]

Ur building a great collection I see can't wait to see what ur gonna do with it

[@gwaddles]

Nice. I was hoping it was a Heritage Springer….

[@vntgmx]

Love it as I'm a Heritage guy. For sure you have to do a springer front end as those lowers are aged...Have fun and looking forward to seeing what you do!

[@TravelingTall]

If I don't do a springer front I'll have the lower forks chromed.

[@russellhalleran9080]

Now you know why your sister likes the Heritage. That was my first bike...a 2019. Loved it. Now I am on the Electra Glide Standard (2021).

[@jayjack2768]

I never liked the heritage softails until I saw one in person. Beautiful bike, at least the one I saw. Can't wait to see the transformation

[@billymcfuggin7549]

That is awesome Tall. I have my SGS but I will never part with my 2015 Heritage. I've toured on it, boulevard bike. It feels like it looses half it's weight as soon as you roll forward. I have mine set up old skool look and I love it.

[@juanhuttoe4517]

Love the heritage. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

[@brucesmith7858]

That is a very nice looking bike you found. OK first things riders triangle. You need taller bars. You need the seat to go back a couple of inches and you need to get the floorboards to go forward and out as well as getting extended foot shifter and foot break so at least that’ll get your triangle a lot more comfortable for your height.

[@misaelmora3796]

A simple vicla style would be nice on that heritage. It’ll be a nice classy Cadillac around town type of bike

[@mikekovacs5392]

Old Milwaukee 😂LOL. Can’t wait to see what you do to this machine.

Tall, honestly your content is always refreshing, me being a souther Californian n all, love that down home hospitality, now for suggestions, I thin you should fat spoke (21 in front/18 rear) slam it, Beach bars, n make it a cali cruiser 👍🏾 again love the videos (and I know I’m very late but happy belated) much luv

[@TravelingTall]

Thank you

[@bobhartman2571]

A great choice! To me, this model is the one that you really need to ponder how to change the look.

[@Robbover]

Great choice.... My first bike was a 94 Heritage Classic and regret it later. The silly things we do when we're young in age. I truly missed that bike. Good luck with your new purchase.

[@grego925]

Mine's a 2000 with 63,000 miles, runs and handles great, tons of upgrades and add- ons. Every time I think about selling it, I back out. Can't get myself to do it. Light enough for around town and with the upgraded 6speed trans will cruise at highway speeds without missing a beat. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

[@TravelingTall]

I was running 75 with mo problems. The 5 speeds not bad.

[@donmiles3361]

Can not speak for the “older” Heritages but the newer 2018+ I love them! I went from a 2000 ultra to 2020 Heritage and have not been disappointed at all, with one exception the stock seat leaves a little to be desired on those longer runs 400+ a day. I’m 6ft and have no problem with riding it longer distances and it’s great around town bike as well. Can’t wait to see what you do with it!

[@ecrusch]

Looks like a really nice bike. I'll be looking forward to see what you do with it. Peace. Eric in Kissimmee.

[@danielsouthern411]

Truly true..I rode my cousins heritage and it was leaps and bounds easier to handle than my king. only thing is u scrape on every curve. But yep way low low and easy to ride. IMHO

[@donovanganoe8019]

Congratulations, Tall! My first bike was a 95th Anniversary RK Classic, that was my Dad's bike originally. He wanted the 2003 100th Anniversary model, so he sold the '98 to me. Still miss that bike, but I got a 2020 CVO Street Glide now...😊 Ride safe and have a blessed day!!

Great looking bike, congrats, can't wait to see how it turns out✌️

[@bigdog3495]

My 1st Harley was a 1995 Heritage softail… I bought it new for $14500 and sold it in 1999 fo $13500 with over 30k miles on it. That was back in the days where Harley’s were in huge demand

You can say keep rolling and I refer my Heritage as a Soft Glide.

[@marathon1972]

Love these bikes but the first thing id get rid of is the soft bags and metal rivets.

[@TravelingTall]

That's one of the first things that will be com8ng off. Thanks for watching.

[@phildiegidio4658]

Nice bike. And yes, it was built in York, PA.

[@OSUalum41]

I have a '14 Heritage and I love it. Rides like a dream. I think the Heritage Softail Classic is the best looking bike Harley has ever made.I bought an Ultra Limited three years ago so I don't ride the Heritage as much as I used to, but I still love taking it out. You're going to love having one.

[@CaperJake]

Love your vids Tall! I'm a new and happy owner of a 2017 FLSTC that I bought a year ago at age 70 as I needed a shorter, lighter and lower bike than the one i had been riding for 14 years. To me, these bikes are as classic a motorcycle as you can find, with styling themes that go back 80+ years in HD history. Love 6th gear, great handling, outstanding sound and looks beyond compare. Looking forward to what you will do on this build. Shiny side up!

[@ericdean2525]

Tall, you got me feeling nostalgic as well. I've always wanted a Fat Boy but went with my 2020 RGS and I have not been disappointed. Maybe next year I will add to the stable? For your Heritage, definitely need to push those floorboards out and down. Being a 6'5" rider myself, I know you're looking at seat options as that has always been the game changer with my bikes while "traveling tall". Nice ride brother!

[@TravelingTall]

I'd like to have a newer Fat Boy, I think the wheels on them look cool.

[@5musicman]

05 Heritage Softail Classic was my first motorcycle. It was a great bike. The only regret that I have is I should have changed the bars and didn't. The stoke bars were so uncomfortable on a long trip, but at the time i wasn't aber to shell out the money to change the bars. I can't wait to see how "stockish" the bike is when you finish it.

[@bigjohnson9561]

Congratulations! Good looking bike. I would definitely upgrade the lights to LED. Also, try keeping it stock as much as possible. I wouldn’t go too crazy with it. Again, good looking bike.

[@davidozburn1155]

Rider triangle, suspension, visibility, and tune. Then........

[@samchavez8994]

since its an 88 CI i would recommend that you get the cam chain tensioners changed out to hydralic tensioners i had my go out on my as i was going to ride and lucky it was under warranty but it took some time for of the parts to arrive.

[@TravelingTall]

Zippers Performance makes one. I'll have to get that done.

[@msportster6791]

I had a ‘09 Heritage, sun glow red- LOVED it - super comfortable! But with no ABS and no cruise control, I needed to upgrade. Wife didn’t let me have both so I traded in ‘Classy’ for my ‘21 Road King’ and placed a tour pack on back. Love the convenience of luggage space. Wish I still had ‘Classy’ though for practice and local trips. Enjoy your Heritage!

[@MattHer86]

You got yourself a “Soft Glide”

[@japbikesrule]

Hardtail with springer

[@robkirkwood3497]

Looks great. I got the 03 Anniversary Fatboy...and it's got the V-Twin air cleaner, but you can't get new filters for that any more. Would like to see you get into the motor and give it more "go".

[@aussieladrides]

Seat. Cannot wait to see what you can fit to replace the seat. Heritage is an amazing bike. Board extensions and extended reach seat and you will be off and going. The test will be choice. Cannot wait to watch you make the changes. 👍

[@TravelingTall]

Any suggestions on the seat?

[@aussieladrides]

@@TravelingTall I have heard the extended reach road sofa is a top choice but not sure if it will fit the Heritage. Corbin has been the best option where I’m from (Australia) but I’m sure you will have plenty more options. Cannot wait for this one mate. I love the heritage, it’s a beautiful ride. All the best.

[@dfunklegendfontdawg32]

[@HvyMetal4Ever]

What would I do with that canvas....hmm Name: Milly for short I honestly love white wall tires. I love the classic look of WW tires. Powder coat the wheels and spokes. The main wheel, matching the blue, and the spokes could be that silver gray to match the lines. Upgrade all the lighting (obvious choice) Put the hoods over the headlamp and driving lights Paint match the oil tank Braided oil lines out of the tank and to the motor A custom saddle (David at CMC Motorsports)

Can't wait to see what you do and what you can find to update for a bike 20 years old. I have a Pearl White 2004 Heritage Classic (original owner) and love it to this day. It is running hotter than usual lately and I am not sure why. I removed the windshield and installed a fairing painted to make the bike. Folks get it confused for a Street Glide. Excited to see what you have in store and going to stay glued!

Nice bike traveling tall

[@payneproblems]

That’s a good pickup. I’ve had four Heritage Classics. Most recently a 2011 in Cool Blue/Vivid Black combo. I bought my Road Glide Limited in March this year but refused to trade in my Heritage. They are great bikes for what they are and I still enjoy riding it.

[@payneproblems]

I normally don’t recommend products but for the Heritage, I’d recommend the Vance & Hines FuelPak for some optimization options. I love it on mine. I did however upgrade mine to the Screamin Eagle 255 cams and it absolutely rips!! Great for two up riding..even better when you’re solo.

Looking forward to what wheels you get as the spokes on the new bikes tend to rust easily. Happy trails God Bless!!

[@TravelingTall]

I've noticed that, it's hard to keep spokes clean, and they do rust easy.
