I bought a 1991 FLSTC tonight at a local Harley Dealer. It was parked with the late model used bikes and is just as clean and flawless as a newer bike. In fact, I didn't know the difference in the year models and couldn't tell that this wasn't only a couple of years old. Just a super nice bike. The paint looks like the day it rolled out of the showroom.

This bike has a 1340 evo engine that has an S&S carb, cams (they sound on the milder side to me) and Vance and Hines drag pipes. It also has new wheels, great tires, a corbin seat and lots of chrome.

I traded a 2004 Suzuki VS 1400 for the Harley. The Harley shop is about 30 miles away. I rode the Heritage home and it was very different than the Suzuki. The cammed EVO sounds incredible. It is everything a Harley should be as far as sound. At idle it has the most awesome lope. Even the guys in the service area said that this bike sounded the best on the lot.

The power is sufficient but, the Intruder would easily smoke it in a drag race, every time. The Intruder probably handles better too. But, I would say that the Heritage is a better ride if you're going all day. My wife says it's very much better for her. My wife asked me the difference and I told her that the Heritage feels more like "an adult bike". You can't wrestle it, you gotta drive it. I was draggin the floor boards tonight. That part is one thing about the Heritage I've got to be mindful of. It drags hard parts pretty quick.

I'm looking forward to years of riding.

Congratulations and welcome. LOL, draggin' the floorboards ... yep, get used to that. I'm on my second Harley after having Kawasakis and a Yamaha. Much different. Best of luck. jc

Nice find. Which dealer did you buy from? And don't forget some pics please . . .

Congrats on the scoot and welcome to the forum! '96 Heritage here

Here's the pictures from the dealers web site.

I bought it a Smokin Harley Davidson in Winston Salem. That's a few miles away. When I was there it looked to me like they have about 100 motorcycles for sale, literally. They also have a restaurant called "Freebournes" in there. It seems to do a good business.

Smokin HD is far bigger than the other dealers in the area. It used to be called Curleys HD some years ago back when I was riding a Sportster.

I just went for a ride a little while ago. Man, I love this freakin motorcycle. I have been riding street bikes for 31 years. I have owned 32 motorcycles. This bike aint the fastest, best handling or I imagine the most reliable. But, it has all the chemistry that makes it a true pleasure to ride.

It has the 1340 EVO engine that has a mild or medium cam, an S&S Super E carburetor, an aftermarket ignition and Vance and Hines pipes. At idle it lopes something awesome. It sounds like an old school Harley and every head turns and old men wave. I told my wife that in all my years of riding motorcycles I have never owned one that truly made heads turn and people wave. Heck, I like to just listen to it idle.

The pictures above are from the dealer web site. If you go to Smokin's web site select used inventory and go to page three. It's 4 or 5 bikes down the page with a sold next to it.

I looked at a 2003 Superglide that was 500 bucks cheaper but, I just fell in love with the FL lines on this bike. The FL style with a softail seems like a great mix to me.

This bike has 20,400 miles on it.

that bike does not look 20 years old. Awesome. How many miles did it have on it? Garage kept? Ridden in the rain?

Congrats! Enjoy your new ride.:clap:

Sharp! I stopped at Tiley a few months ago on my way home from Conover. I'll have to check 'em out. Best of luck.

I traded my Dyna for a FLSTC last summer and it is almost night and day. I can ride my Softail all day when I used to get tired riding my Dyna after 2 hours. My wife completely agrees and is much more comfortable on the new bike. Now she is the one asking if we can ride.

Welcome. Nice clean scoot! I picked up an 04 Heritage last winter, yeah, middle of the darn winter, rode all summer and love it!! Not fast, not nimble, but a nice comfy ride for my 40 min. each way commute.

 

[tigerbight]

Very nice ride. I converted or shale I say had the finances to purchase a 09 heritage. I was having problems with floor board drag myself. I was being to aggressive cornering and kinda draged badely and ended up costing me several thousand in repairs.I toned it down a few notches after that and life is so much so more enjoyable now I don't ride like my hair is on fire.

 

[JoeSpringer]

Really nice looking bike. Get used to dragging things. I have a Sportster and a springer softail and I cant turn without dragging something. lol.

 

[desiday]

Congrats on your new ride! 2000 Heritage Classic here. The older I get the more things seem to drag!

 

[Steel]

Yep, thats a beauty.
The heritage is the most comfortable bike ive ever ridden. Your not going to regret this.
See you up the parkway sometime.

 

[2000FiveOh]

Sharp bike! But if you're dragging boards all the time, as you say, you need to learn how to ride. Would be a shame to pile up a nice bike.

 

[cstanley]

For sure...very nice looking bike! I can only hope my '07 looks that good in 20 years time!!

 

[Flttrainer]

Beautiful. Congrats on a great find!

 

[ncmedic]

Awesome bike !! Maybe you can join us when we head to Mt Airey for lunch at Snappy's ??
