Watch this before you buy a HD Heritage Classic

[@mikerolo4385]

The thing about the Softail Heritage is that you sit "in" the frame instead of on top of the bike.... I ride a Heritage right now and honestly it handles light years better than my Street Glide... My Heritage is probably the best bike I have owned..

[@Motorcyclewindtherapy]

I got rid of my 2016 Ultra Limited and kept my 2000 Heritage for the same reason! In vs On...no contest, the Heritage is the bike for me...I can ride it for 8 hours a day and not get wore out and it just 'feels' better - like what all my Harleys have for the past 30 years. I'm not a fairing, radio, doo-dad, tour pack kind of guy.

You are exactly correct Heritage is the most awesome bike I have driven God Bless.

I ride an 01 heritage classic and I fkn love it wouldn't trade it for anything

[@willh1082]

Would that be better for a tall/ long torso rider? I had an 03 road king with heritage bars on it and it just felt like i was pulled forward a hair too far because the bars felt too low, my back would be sore after about 45 minutes. I would think sitting in the frame would be better right?

[@mrvoyagerm]

The best part is even when it's parked, it just SCREAMS Harley Davidson. You walk away after a ride and look back and YES it is a Harley Davidson - the king of cool bikes. You know you have made it when you ride one of these.

[@deplorablechicano7967]

I have not ridden a bike in over 35 years and part of my bucket list is to own a Harley and always been a fan of the heritage this week i bought a 2002 heritage and ordered it it will be in a week from today

[@twatson6252]

I have a 1995 Heritage and it looks just like a 2018 in design . It is a timeless machine it rides fantastic. I love this bike and will never sell it. I also have a 1995 Ultra Classic. It is a great bike also but the Heritage has a better ride. The only thing better about the Ultra is that it seems not to get sucked into ruts in the road as bad and the floorboards don't shake as much. The Heritage as someone else said feels lighter and more like you are down in it and a part of the bike and not just sitting up on top of it.

Your videos where the only ones that helped me make an educated choice on a new-ish bike. My wife and I just put on hold my first bike. An 06 Heritage Classic at Schaffers Harley Davidson. I chose the Heritage because of its versatility and classic look. I could strip it down and have a Dileux or go with a slamed cholo bike with true duels. I could go ham and throw on a touring package and go cross country with the wife. I can't wait to take delivery. Thanks for the help.

[@crazyeyez1502]

Rode a '13 S.T. H C Anniversary Edition during a dealership demo fleet day. Incredible bike, absolutely gorgeous too.

[@Torqd_Off]

You really need to do more of a walk around of the bikes first...

[@kurtben519]

Not necessarily alternator problem specifically. Loose regulator ground or poor connections in the alternator/regulator system will throw a battery code, Also an older battery with weak cells/sulfation can "pull" output voltage down on a good charging system enough to cause this code also. Needs a good electrical once over first...

[@JohnnyRebKy]

I always wanted a heritage but couldn’t afford one. I had a sportster and Dyna wide glide for years. I finally bought a 2016 heritage softail recently and it’s fantastic! Most comfy bike I ever been on and I’m 6’3 205lbs. Even better than road king. The way you sit down into the frame just feels great to me. It floats down road like a Cadillac

[@georgerobinson9275]

Sean it would be great if you would compare a 2023 Heritage against an older one like this one. I took your advise and watched all of your videos on them and purchased a 2010 Heritage from my Harley Dealer and I loved it until I went to Harley Davidson's demo rides all the bikes that you want to and I rode the 2023 Heritage and it was not the same Heritage! Adjustable ride, abs, cruise control, a higher ride so no floor board dragging, lighter frame, and that engine was like a race bike! I was blown away and worked a deal with Harley to take back the 2010 and exchange them. I really would like to hear your opinion on the comparison since you have a great love for this model. Thanks.....

[@rolandblalock1245]

Hey brother, I really enjoy the videos, I especially love the fact that right before you roll out you share a scripture of God's Holy, infallible living word with all us viewers. And that my brother means everything!...Oh yeah I also of course dig the scooters.I really dug that blue Heritage in this video. I've got a 2011 SuperGlide Custom with same engine and pipes loving it!.... Anyways just wanted to say thank you for sharing, and God bless you for not being ashamed to do so!

[@Briansammo]

I have Vance and Hines Big Shots Longs on my 2010 and they sound great, quite a lot better than the make featured in the video, just say'in. The Heritage rides more like a sport bike (better handling characteristics) than the other Harley's I've had. Next Mod is to go with new shock absorbers, the heavy duty kind, as the bike loses some bounce as it ages and the shocks settle.

[@alteredstateskustom]

You’ve obviously never ridden a sport bike The softail chassis handles like crap. Because of the rear suspension if you turn deep into a corner it hops It’s just a cruiser

[@Briansammo]

I own several types of bikes including more than one ZX14r and 2 ZZR1200's (Kawasaki)....so you missed my point. For a Harley (Cruiser) the Heritage Softail handles better than the other Harley's I've ridden or owned. I have also never had my Softail HOP, as you claim.

[@bodeine454]

Yeah, I like the Heritage Softail but I like the rubber mounted engine on the Dynas better. The Softails have the B engine with an internal balance shaft. A little too smooth for me, I like the feel of the rubber mount myself but it wouldn't be a deal breaker by any means!

The only thing i hate about older Heritage Harleys, is the floorboards are too damn low. Every roundabout or sharp turn i scrape them.

[@garychandler4296]

My '05 I ground off the backs of the floorboards the 1st week, had to weld headbolts under the outer edges as sliders, put 2" over forks and tins on jacked up the rear to same lean angles as a 2010 Sportster. Have worn out 9 sets of bolts since. Stock seat was good for 45 minutes to Monkeybutt; had to dish it out and put a gel pad in, 4" risers to the bars and hands are level with shoulders for long haul days.
