  • Love it!
    By  (I am an Enthusiast) on Oct 31, 2020

    Bought my used 2005 FLSTCI With 37000 kms behind it. I logged 11000 kms this season, 2020, and I just love this bike! Very versatile the way I can set it up with Lepera seat, batwing with stereo, throw the bags off, sissy bar and go buck naked, well the bike anyway. Or saddle up for some longer adventures ...

I changed all lighting to LEDS and added a driver backrest. I added locks to the saddlebags. I love the classic look. I added front and rear ...

  • '05 Heritage - GREAT Bike!
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jan 07, 2009

    My '05 Heritage gets admiring looks everywhere I go. Straight Black, the accessories and bolt-on's make it look great, and the performance bumps (race tuner, 203 cams, Thunderheader pipes) give it the sound and fury. A Great bike, and well worth the investment. My Lovely Bride rides one, too, ...
