I've also found that the "fold over" lapels on the "old school" motorcycle jacket help to break up the upward flow of air and deflect it away from my face.a bit. Also, I wear a fairly close fitting half helmet which is not prone to being shaken by the updraft, so it's not an issue to me.

 

That is a dynamite looking heritage. Love the bags. Nice job!!

 

I was able to get a ride on a used 107 today. I was able to get on interstate for about 15 miles. I set cruise on about 77. Lots of trucks to dodge. Based on that ride, there wasn't an inordinate amount of wind buffeting. I could read the signs, and my head wasn't getting beat up. I did feel the wind coming from around the tank, but it wasn't a big deal. It was worse when I got stuck in dirty air. Now, I don't know if that is the end all/be all demo, but I just pleasantly surprised that it wasn't a deal killer. At least, not yet.
FYI I'm 5'11" and I wear HJC RPHA 11 fullface helmet.

 

Those are factory accessory engine and saddlebag guards with Pro Guards plastic protectors for when I'm pretending to be "Motorcycle Man" Jerry Palladino.

 

I'm 5'8" and don't have any problem with the wind with the stock windshield or coming up from around the tank. I don't mind a little wind. That's why I'm on the bike instead of in a cage.

 

Hey Guys! Guys! I'm new! Let me state right up front so everybody knows which camp I'm in: I like the dog bowl! I won't apologize for it!

Great thread here. Found a middle visor that I've been looking for. Found a nifty little tank bib/pouch. Read a lot of great info.

Here's what I got: 2020 Heritage 114 bought at the end of last October. Absolutely love it. Checked all my boxes. I sort stumbled into it. I started on a Rebel 500 last April as my first real street bike. Fun little thing and it served it's purpose. Sold it after a test ride on the Heritage. I assumed I would not be able to ride a bike as heavy as any Harley but these things are so well thought out that I was amazing and snickering with delight the as soon as I got it rolling in the parking lot. Amazingly manageable machine.

What I've done: Stage 1, passing lamp/tail light visors, knock off Harley fork wind deflectors (buffeting almost totally gone), Motherwell rack, Harley quick detach system with sissy bar. I had the grasshopper backrest but have taken it off.

Ive got 7500 miles on it and the only gripe I have is the back tire is almost done already. I'm not going to get anything close to the mileage others seem to have gotten. I'm also not a fan of these in the rain.




Otherwise just a brilliant machine.

I may get clamps that move the handle bars back a bit or a seat that moves me forward as I'm 5'6 and in slow maneuvers my outside hand is really reaching. Have to scoot forward to turn the bars all the way.

Also I want white walls. If my tire holds up I'll get them at the 10K service. Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance and happy to be a Heritage owner!

 

So I posted about my Heritage with pictures and everything and I got a "needs moderator approval" and my post never showed up.

Is this normal?

 

I'm afraid we're going to need to see some identification, sir.

 

You should probably post this question under “Forum issues,” where you will be more likely to get an answer.

 

Thank you
