Good question. Actually, all I am looking for is the sound not necessarily the performance, so I figured slip-ons would fit the bill.
Do you find compared to the Sportster...you are sitting more 'in' the bike than sitting 'on'?
Absolutely. As a matter of fact I sat on a new RK and felt I was sitting up to high as well (but they are dandy bikes). No, the Heritage gives you that "into" the bike feel that I like.
BEAUTIFUL Heritage! That is one of the nicest color combos I've seen...here's a couple pics of mine from this weekend (after I serviced/cleaned it). I've got Rush 1.75" slip-ons and they sounds/look GREAT! Have fun...
