After buying and selling several M8 Heritages (retirement hobby - made at least some money on all of them), looks like I've found a keeper, so am finishing up getting it set up exactly how I want it. All that's remaining is adding a Sport luggage rack and a Recurve windshield.....both ordered already, then time for a road trip. Don't know if I can pinpoint exactly why this one is the one, but probably it's the paint color, already was set up nicely, including the Bassani Road Rage 2-into-1 with RS air cleaner and V&H Tuner, already had the Engine Guard and H-Fast Sissy Bar, and Ultimate seats with backrest. I've added the grips, pull-back risers, highway pegs, laydown license plate holder, windshield bag, and knockoff gloss black fangs (learned the hard way you can't drill the extra hole in a straight line down!). With the 2 items on the way, that should be it (famous last words, I know).
In my mid-70's now and at 150 lbs, just wasn't feeling very comfortable any longer with the 800+ lb bikes, plus it's so much easier with this Heritage to access the rear wheel valve stem than anything I've been riding the past 30+ years. And, the rear suspension on the Heritage is pretty darn good I think.....important if your lower back is fused.
It is this seat the CC Fastback and about best prices out there for a seat like that. I was actually interested in how comfortable it is? You can also have it built any way or color you chose.

Thanks - I ordered one this week. Just waiting for them to build and ship.

I am wondering what brand of helmet you use.? I am using Shoei J-cruze and have obnoxious buffeting. Some people think certain helmets work better on certain bikes.

I wear a j Cruz as well. Could not wear that helmet until I got the fangs. It's okay now.

I wear a Shoei RF-1400 and have fangs on mine. Still using stock windshield. I only experience buffeting at interstate speeds when following close behind someone. Otherwise it's great. I'm 6' 2" and the stock windshield allows just enough air to hit the top of my head and enter the top helmet vents.
Anybody know where to buy black windshield brackets for 2020 Heritage? I like the OEM windshield, just want to change those chrome brackets to black, thanks...
