I dont see many of the lmao in the wild but I love my 21 deadwood green. One thing I don't like is the stock rear shock adjustment. It failed on me broke the mounting bolt and shoved it through my fender. This was before the recall. Definitely make sure you get that in and fixed i might swap it out for a different shock as it scares me now lol
@ I’m pretty sure mine was repaired through the recall before I purchased it. I just purchased it this past August. I should check on that to make sure
@dannyl7195 yes mine was bad I suggest that you make sure it was taken care of. I have been thinking of getting a legend shock and just doing away with it as I do not trust it.
When I ride mine it's like those old school hot rods. They look old but that is deceiving. It's really a sleeper. It truly is a hot rod with the 114 engine. I really enjoy it. I thought the same thing when I first rode it. Were has this been? I was so surprised that I traded in my 2017 Street Glide special for my 2022 Heritage Classic all chrome. This is the last Harley that I will own now that I am 70 years old. So easy to back it out of the garage and so balanced when coming up to a stop light. A lot of times I don't even have to come to a full stop to put my foot down. Very happy rider.
I have 22 Heritage and I love it I added the marching Tourpak and the Harley Davidson Hammock seat. At 5'7" I fomd it a great all around bike that fits me perfectly.
The Heritage Softail was the first Harley I looked at when I wanted to upgrade from my Vulcan 800... and then I found the Road King [color hard bags FTW], and then I saw the Street Glide... and we all know how THAT ended :D Still a great-looking bike, that Heritage!
@@IronBornRider Maybe... but this was a while ago, back when they had soft saddlebags. The RK at the time was similar but had hard bags, which drew my eye... then the fairing of the SG :D
100% it is, I have a 2023 vivid black. Rides like a caddy, has the power and is 2-3 bikes in one. You can travel solo or two up. I am 6’4 220 and with the floorboards fits me just fine. Only changes I think are necessary to me are the rear taillight/turn signals and front turn signals, they’re bulbs and not led. Simple and cheap addition. Also the vivid black is blacked out so it doesn’t look as “old school” little more modern. Not to mention you can always add different bags etc, which change the bikes look. But for the money, you can’t go wrong. Swiss army bike, can do it all.
I heard somewhere that it’s one of Harley’s best selling bikes and I believe it. It’s impressive if that’s the case, given how little they advertise the heritage
@@IronBornRider also heard that, personally haven’t seen many out on the road but world wide I could definitely see it being on top. I wouldn’t trade it for anything though. You can travel or commute around town, feels way lighter than the listed weight too. Definitely recommend this bike for everyone, don’t like something on it? Change it lol, everyone loves adding things to their bike anyway.
Are you running stock seat? I just rode 170 miles and it’s hard for me to get comfortable. The seat is great for short rides idk what it is that I just can’t find them comfort zone.
@@KawaRider88 I have the day break Harley seat on it right now, very comfortable seat. I didn’t have any issues with the stock seat but I had that seat extra from my other bike, so I just put it on the heritage.
@@IronBornRider I know, haha. I rode both past a building that I can see myself in. Gotta see how I look on it. Once I save up some more(hate financing),I’m getting the LRST.
Spot on. I bought a ‘22 heritage cause it has the classic look. The bike looks and rides great. I’ll disagree with you on the seat but I’m 6’2” 250lb. After a few hours non stop it gets uncomfortable.
It’s like putting a 1957 Chevy next to a Toyota or some other roller skate, Everybody loves the classic look of a machine over bland look of a disposable one.
There's nothing that any of the m8 softails can't do. They really are the sweet spot for Harley models. Light, fairly nimble, and fun to rip around on. Then you can throw some luggage and the ole lady on and go on a trip.
Love the Heritage - looks like a 1950s FL Hydra Glide. Don't like the look of the newer square black studs. Either put the round chrome ones back on or just eliminate them completely. Glad they brought the chrome back. So tired of the blacked-out look on a bike classically styled like this. They need to bring the chrome back on the Road King too for the same reasons. Road Glides and Street Glides look awesome blacked-out.
The Heritage is definitely a timeless classic. Your right it can just about do anything. 🏍👍
@@TechNickRides thanks Nick!
I used to have an 04 Heritage twin cam 88. Just upgraded to a 21 Heritage 114 deadwood green and black with very little chrome. I love my 21 Heritage.

@@tylerthrash3155 according to the HD website there is no open recall when I input my VIN
I own a 2001 twin cam 88 heritage and it's a good all around cruiser/tourer
Love the twin cams

@@lovingmylifeasIage6741 it’s very well balanced for it being 700lbs. It feels lighter than that for some reason. Ride safe and enjoy your heritage!
I have a 23 Heritage and love it.
Great bike!
The mono shock is adjustable but it’s under the seat. I have the 2022 and love it
Yeah it would’ve been cool to have it on the outside similar to the fatboy.
Love my 2019. Ride greats, has the 114 so plenty of power.
It’s an awesome machine
I have 22 Heritage and I love it
I added the marching Tourpak and the Harley Davidson Hammock seat. At 5'7" I fomd it a great all around bike that fits me perfectly.
Tour pack is a great idea for the heritage
How many miles do you have on the seat and how do you like it?

@@RoadReality should’ve gone with the heritage! Jk
@@IronBornRider Maybe... but this was a while ago, back when they had soft saddlebags. The RK at the time was similar but had hard bags, which drew my eye... then the fairing of the SG :D
Assessment was right on, I love my Heritage it rocks😎
Thanks!
We have two a 2016 V-twin and a 2022 M8.. Love them both.. I think I like the 2016 just a tad bit better.
Im a old soul so i bought a heritage and get nothing but compliments all day. And i can spot it in a crowd of street and black road glides
It’s a fantastic bike!
2012 Heritage Softail Classic. I love my bike more than i love my mother.
Lol I get that
I like everything about the heritage except the headlights and windshield. Which is what makes it stand out.
I’m typically not a windshield guy but it serves a purpose
If you have one get some brows for the headlights it looks alot better

Most comfortable and nimble harley made.
Agreed
It’s the bike for the guys who like the 114 low rider s but don’t want to look like SoA.
I have the low rider s lol
@@IronBornRider I know, haha. I rode both past a building that I can see myself in. Gotta see how I look on it. Once I save up some more(hate financing),I’m getting the LRST.
I still own a '98 Heritage and will never sell it.
@@truthbetold-jq8iw that’s awesome!

You might be right about the seat. I’ve never ridden it more than an hour straight
I'm 68 and found that changing to a Mustang seat with a rider back rest has been a worthy upgrade. My back sure appreciates it!

Great utility tool
Whats up with the little toolroll ?
The best all-around Harley.
Agreed
How is it for tall people, im 6'
I think it’ll be good for taller riders
About to get one💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 thanks.
@@weeepa1446 hell yeah. Ride safe bro
Downside for me to the Heritage is the lean angle and ground clearance. You scrape the floorboards way too soon.
Yeah I guess you can add a taller shock to help with that
Its actually alot better than the pre 18s lean angle is way better on these new ones
I'm sure this bike tours great but am I the only one that can't deal with a tank gage?

Same color like mine 🫶🏻
Great color btw
@@IronBornRider thank you Sir
Yes it is.
Right on
I like the heritage, I just dont like spoked wheels. I would rather just go for an older road king. I dont like the new road kings.
@@ChrisVanMiddelkoop yeah the spoked wheels do make me nervous on motorcycles because of the tube situation
Agree!
Besides the crappy rims with inter tubes there is no RDRS option.
@@TheGoducks3 the newer spoke rims are tubeless,i have them
The Road King rubber mounted motor is vastly smoother and the Road King handles way better, ask me how I know, I own both, Softail is for sale
I have to agree. The rks is a superior bike but comes at a cost for sure
Its no secret anymore that HD is circling the drain. Get woke , go broke. Its over.
HD is now WOKE.
