I'm seriously considering going to a 16/17 Heritage next spring...... I'm thinking one will cost me more after today..... Don't know about the other Softails, but they destroyed the Heritage....
The Heritage looked kinda cool to me. However not nearly as cool as the 2016/17 teal/white combo of the last few years. I like the blacked out parts and the new saddlebags will grow on me over time but... with some WWWs and few other odds and ends, that silver or two-tone denim could look very cool IMO. Aside from that, most of the DLX and the Slim, the rest of this softail lineup looks like Victory... we saw what happened to them.
At least the back end of the '18s look a lot better, especially when the bags are off. Twisted Cherry looks like a cool color. I'd put a sprung solo seat on it.....
