  • 2011 Heritage Softail Classic
    By  (I am an Owner) on Mar 13, 2014

    Very disappointed! Loved EVERYTHING about this bike until, in less than three years, and only 5000 miles, I'm having to replace the back wheel, tire and hub because of a factory defect. $1,200 worth. They tell me this is a common problem with this year model, and yet there hasn't been a recall?? ...

  • Best Bike Ever!
    By  (I am an Owner) on Apr 06, 2012

    I know everyone thinks their bike is the "best bike ever," and for me my 2011 Heritage is!

    I've owned and ridden motorcycles since I was a teenager, never owned an H-D previously though one was always on "the list." Bought mine at age 49 and was extremely happy with it with only a ...

    The stock pipes didn't do it for me, and the bike ran very lean out of the factory due to EPA regs resulting in less power and more engine heat than expected.

    I swapped out the stock pipes for a set of Vance and Hines, had a set of 255 cams installed along with a SE tuner and Stage 1 breather, had her dyno'd at the dealer and now she gives me everything I was looking for in an HD.

    Power is there, takes off like a rocket, runs strong on the hiway, never runs out of air if you know what I mean. The pipes are a little loud but the rumble is there when needed and lets people know you are on the road with them so they don't arbitrarily plow you down.

    All in all I can see myself riding this bike for many years to come, makes me happy just to look at it parked in the garage!

  • Lady Rider's like Heritage's too!
    By  (I am an Owner) on Aug 08, 2011

    I took the motorcycle safety course at age 52 and purchased a 2008 900cc Kawasaki Vulcan. I rode it for a few months, and decided to buy a Harley. The 2011 Heritage had a familiar look and feel to my Vulcan, so I bought it for the comfort level that it gave me. I love this bike! I bought the ...

  • Cruiser with CAPITAL C
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jul 27, 2011

    I have 2011 Heritage that I have put 3500 miles on, I also ride Triumph and needed a bigger heavier bike for longer rides and freeways. Heritage is a perfect blend of cruiser and touring able to do both very well....but...this is not a SPORT CRUISER. it will not get u 0-60 quickly, but it fast enough ...

  • Looks can be deceiving
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jul 02, 2011

    This bike looks great, although I don't like the studded seat and bags, I changed them out for custom seat and removable leather bags that go on the CVO Softtail. I also changed out the pipes and wheels, and put the 103ci big bore kit on for some very much needed power. Now the bike looks ten times ...

    This bike is the real deal. I got one with ABS and the security system. Ride is smooth and the handling is superb. Totally recommend this bike without reservation.
