Everything You Need To Know About The Heritage Classic

I have a 21 .had it 2 years now ,thinking about Stage 2 ,and alloy wheels, definitely getting heated grips.

I done the world record poker run on my 2020 heritage special.....got me into the Guinness Record Book.....3427 miles...would do it again tomorrow....dont let anyone tell you this ain't a long haul bike...and with the lighter weight....faster than the baggers 😅

Great review thanks

Agree with you about the incandescent lights. I have changed mine plus indicators to Led. But what annoyed me the most was the spokes that rust. I had to swap to stainless steel spokes. I have changed so many things to transform it into a decent bike that i have lost count. I guest it is part of the fun owning a HD.😊

Thank you for the review. I have a 2018 Clastic and love it. It rides so good. Staying at 70 ish on the interstate is the best. I haven't done anything to it but will be changing the lights. Very comfortable on day rides.

I just bought a Heritage. I love it. It’s all chrome! Agree about the lights and the kick stand. Great video!!

I love my 2012 Heritage. I do think a newer one would be better on long rides,though

I’ve put 21,000 miles on my ‘19 Heritage. One highway trip to Paducah Kentucky from Columbus Ohio. No problems, love it.

Love my 2020 Heritage 114. And I’ve also owned a Road King. Best bike I’ve ever owned. Comfortable doing 80 and very grounded. There is that wind pocket behind the windshield but no buffeting as it hits above my visor. I have easily done a 400 mile day on mine with a Mustang touring seat. And I’ve blacked out the mirrors and gas caps. Love it, love it, love it.

I looked at the 2022 in Reef Blue and it did have a heel shifter.

not very good are you

Handlebars aren't stock on that particular bike !

These bikes are massively overpriced and they add a fake fuel cap? It is possible to pull up on either side of a refuel point so why not have two fuel caps that open? HD taking more crazy pills.

Im not old but im also not dumb. Im sick of fighting tall bikes. It just removes soooo much of the fun when you cant just whip a bike around with total confidence. I went in looking at a new road glide and the guy listened to me and showed me this... Now this is what Im getting. You sit on one of these and your a shorter person with lots of experience riding? Your gonna buy it.

JES Custom accent wind deflectors will take care of wind turbulence. Redline transmission oil with shockproof will make finding neutral a breeze. Did both to my heritage, it’s a different bike now!

Can't go wrong with the Heritage

I have an 06 heritage classic and love it i so keep the windshield off most of the time and love it the only thing i don't like is it doesn't have that 6th gear could really use it feels like the bike is really working on the highway

The Heritage and lowrider ST are the best all around bikes Harley makes.

what do you think about this? Heritage 114 2023 or Springfield (classic) 2023?

Trying to get into nutral is a pain ,Now i'll have to put on a foot&heal shifter.I have the 2023 Heratage Classic Anniversary.I have to find a low sissy bar,a pad with ra

Yes. They are aftermarket Ape-Hangers. No. That stock seat isn't comfortable. Ride for a few hours on that seat (especially after the seat has been well broken in) and you won't be saying it's comfortable. Don't know why anybody cares about incandescent turn signals. Sure. LEDs are all the rage, but incandescent signals have worked fine since the beginning of time... and hey... it's a Heritage. A vintage bike doesn't necessarily need to be all lathered with modern tech. If you need more lean angle on public roads, well... If a quick glance at the tank speedo is a problem for someone... well... they got bigger problems. The all blacked out thing is a fad that is getting old. Better to have a mix of chrome and black for the contrast. Plus it's a Heritage. Chrome and Heritage kind of go together.

Just put some engine guards on with foot pegs and it's on.

I have an 03 Heritage Softail Classic,100 year anniversary edition with the 88B and the bike is amazing,I treat her good and she makes my life a lot better,there is NOTHING else better than being on a Harley Davidson

I had a 2019 in blk w the 107 . Loved that bike . Had the seat padding trimmed down to lower my feet .

I have a 22 heritage s&s 475 cam dyno jet tuner bootlegger 2into 1 and dyno tuned 111 hp 122 fpt ive been on a 600 mile trip it did just fine i love my bike

je viens d'acheter une heritage classic 2022 et je ne suis pas déçu, après avoir hésité entre une ultra limited, la street glide et celle-ci. En Europe, elle convient mieux à la morphologie de nos routes. Je la trouve légère et très maniable, avec un freinage efficace. Bref que du bonheur !

I have an 09 Heritage and absolutely love it. I have other bikes for longer distance and adventure riding but the Heritage is a great bike

Can you add a gear display to this model?

I love my 2022 heritage classic 114 should get up and go down the road with no problem

Just traded my secondary bike ('17 Sporty Custom 1200C) for a new '23 Heritage Classic 114... and am loving it. My primary is a '22 RGS. I laid down over 30K miles this past calendar year, and love the RGS for those long road trips. The Heritage will be my around-town bike and for solo rides that are 2-hours or less (but I'm not afraid to take the Heritage for longer rides... I thiink that she'd be just fine). I love the chromed-out Heritage (my RGS is blacked-out and love it blacked out... I love having one chromed and one blacked bike). ON my Heritage, the things that I'm changing immediately: Slip-on pipes (Rush w/ 2.5" cat-less baffles), blinkers and tail light to LED, high-flow air filter (and will retune), adding a stomp (heel) shifter. I haven't decided about a seat upgrade. I may go with a rider-only Mustang and a luggage rake in place of a pillion. When my wife rides, we'll be on the RGS; so, I don't mind letting the pillion go away. So far, after a week of riding her, I'm extremely pleased to have her in the stable.

People today are so fat and out of shape they blame the motorcycle and then when they get off they blame their shoes. If you do not exercise and diet correctly and keep yourself up you will have a miserable ride on the best motorcycle ever made no matter the brand or the size, Men road Sportster size Harley's for years and years across country before touring bikes were ever thought of with little or no problems, why because they were not as fat and out of shape as people are today.

Man. I love my 2021

I have a 22 Heritage and I love everything about it. I added the matching tourpak and use it for everything. If I have to go farther than I feel I can go on it I'll drive my micro car.

What sissy bar is that !? And where can I get it

Began riding since the very early 90's. Had a 2001 HSC and enjoyed it. I've owned 2 SG's, 1 Ultra Limited and 3RG's since. At 69 years of age, the big baggers were more than I wanted to handle any longer, move around the garage, etc. I went with a 2024 Heritage 114" and feel like I'm reborn in my motorcycle life. It dawned on me quickly why I liked the bike so much from 2001. I'm really enjoying the bike. Every one of my baggers were blacked out. I'm really digging the chrome again. The HSC has always been a heavily chromed bike since yesteryear. HD has not done anything different, so it's not as though chrome on a HSC is a new thing if you've been around long enough.

The lean angle is the only thing I didn’t like finding out about this bike, considering I used to drag boards hard on my Vulcan all the time. Besides that, this is my dream bike. I just bought a 23 but can’t ride where I’m at until probably April or May.

Being optimistic, but I think the lesser lean angle will simmer be down a bit. Lord knows I need to 😂

I can ride the twisty's on my 18 without touching the footboards. This guy don't know what he's talking bout!. Never mentioned the Heritage
lost 30 lbs & the momo shock is under the seat.

Always wanted a Heritage Classic. Only thing that's stopping me is I'm 5'4" and not sure if she'll be too heavy to maneuver.

I have the 2018! Agree with your comments on view of speedometer and hitting 80 verses 70ish. Nimble bike! Hard to find neutral until its more broken in. Hate the fake drum brake up front. Not a fan of the studs, I changed the sheets made a difference. Changed the lights to LED, thats crax=zy and stupid from Harley. Handle bars are not stock on the one you had. Love my Heritage but did some work to it but you do that to any bike!

Ground clearance difference between an older Heritage and today's is what? 1/4 of an inch? Meh. You want to crazy take corners in those mountains, get a different bike. It is a Heritage. Think I'll review a pickup truck wanting it to have corvette capabilities.

bought a new ‘23 Heritage in Gloss Black and Chrome. Smoothest and beat looking classic cruiser on the street. But hated the $750 “factory covid” charge and $1,999 shipping and setup up. Plus it only came with one starter fob. Guess that the CEO is trying to get profit anywhere he can. Shame on them.

To stop wind buffeting you need to install lower wind deflectors. That air turbulence, you were complaining about, comes from your knees level, where air stream being sucked in by the low pressure created behind the windshield. And that caused the turbulence around your torso and helmet buffeting as you noticed. Lowers will not allow that stream to enter the cockpit from down below and you'll be riding in capsule of still air.
In other words: Main windscreen pushes air upward, lowers push air downward... Harmony. But they both need to be installed.

The real heritage Softail classic the last one was made in 2017. That's nowhere near or looks nowhere near close to a classic😂😂😂😂😂😂

Heritage is EVO.

That back-and-forth feeling you got on the freeway probably comes from those tall ape hangers. Your mirrors were way up there in the breeze like sails. I have the same bike but with stock handlebars, and I haven't noticed any steering weirdness. Incandescent bulbs are kind of cheapo, but overall it's a good bike. Remove the windshield & bags and it looks really good for short runs. You can really see the Hydraglide styling cues like that.

Why can't I get more than 3.5gallons of fuel in my 2018 heritage 114?

But the fuel gauge indicates a 1/4 tank

I’m gonna tell you about this bike that I don’t own and never ridden. Here are the blinkers…. And it has a seat.

I like the Sport Glide even more. Modern look, upsidedown fork, modern wheels. They should have put minispeakers and gauges from the Sporster S 2022 and onwards or nighster special in order to have a small infotainment system. Indian has them as well on their "cruiser" line up. Why does harley only have a infotainment system on their most expensive touring models. Harley should go ahead with time and become more competitive with indians cruiser line up not just increase the cubic inch every year to keep customers buying the softail line up.

Okay. Looks nice. Sounds nice. Now lets get down to the nitty gritty. Is the Harley Davidson Heritage Classic engine fitted with those disasterous cam chain tensioners that came out on bikes like the Dyna, the Low Rider and the Sportster?
