Was planning to trade my '07 Heritage for the chrome '21. Until I saw that fuel tank emblem, ARGHHHH!
If I spend $15K for that upgrade, the emblem will haunt me every time I go into the garage. Guess I will await the 2021's.

Stage I for the lever and reservoir, Stage II with the slave, Stage III get the line, and Stage IV plunger and rod. Warranty for 2 years if purchased in the first 60 days!

Emblem-schmemblem.....When I bought my 2017 (chrome) Limited I was frankly turned off by the stock nameplate emblem. I found a better emblem and replaced it asap. Probably one of the best cosmetic improvements I made. I don’t understand why H-D can’t put a really nice looking badge, emblem or nameplate on their non-CVO rides.

It is all over, not just H-D / Indian...
Look at cars the last few years; black wheels, black grills, black emblems.
Y'all remember the Gold Chrome of the nineties. That didn’t last too long and we went back to real chrome. And if ya saw any of those gold badges and trim a few years later... nasty.

Speaking of chrome , instead of Harley doing Blackout bikes with paint . Black chrome would look great on a bike if not over done .
