Here are a few photos of my Heritage. It is the second most comfortable bike I have ever owned.

Nice looking scoot. Does the seal float or is it fixed?

The seat has about one inch of travel.

That bike is seriously da kind!! Very sweet. Love the seat and the shifter. Sets it apart from others by miles. I love it. Always liked that seat set up.

I cannot imagine you ever selling that bike. First off in my opinion the EVO is the best and most durable motor ever made. 80CID is more then enough as is 5 speed tranny. And if its carbed well you've got the full flush, in my opinion.

And when the motor gets mad miles on it the MOCO offers a reasonably priced rebuild option for your motor.

Thanks for the compliements. I agree, the Evo is the best thing the MoCo ever made. This bike had everything I was looking for when I bought it. Stone stock, low miles, mechanical speedo/odometer and carb. Vintage Harleys are my favorites, however I am really liking this bike. I do not plan on selling it, but I have had other bikes that I thought I would never sell, but did. In my opinion, this seat set up is the best. It puts my feet at a more comfortable, natural angle than the factory seat did. I changed the factory handlebars also because they put my wrists at an unnatural angle that hurt my wrists. I bought a set of identical tanks that were dented to mount the shifter gate and shifter lever pivot point onto. That way if my dream did not work out I still could go back to stock ,quickly.

MOCO handle bars have always been an issue for me too and until this 2012 bike I just bought. First time a stock set of handle bars worked for me. Usually one of the first things I'd change out. On the last 2 bikes one the 1998 and the other a 2001 the angle was to severe and hurt my wrists on the long haul. On this 2012 they seem to have gotten a lot of things right...yeah still EFI but at least its delphi and not the quirky MM. Handle bar angle softer and bars are wider(that is probably why the angle doesn't feel so severe).

I had a EVO/EFI bike for awhile, a 1998 Ultra Anniversary S/C bike. It didn't bother me to get rid of it mainly because 1)it was EFI 2) not worth converting, I think you lose to much based on what I've learned about changing back to carb. 3) Didn't want the hassle of disconnecting and reconnecting the S/C either. So out with the old and in with the new.

Was the big twin, twin cam really necessary I ask you? At 11,000 miles or so give or take a 1000 miles, on my 2001 the wear was already very prevalent on the cam drive and I upgraded it at that time. I do not understand the reason behind the big twin twin cam or the advantage having it. 2 Cams more consistant power?

Trick and slick... beautiful ride!! Great pics- thanks for sharing.

I saw a bike with the foot clutch/hand shifter a few weeks ago - I gotta ask - and please don't take this the wrong way...
WHY? Is riding a hand clutch foot shifter too easy for you? I mean I know it looks cool and all but they call them suicide shifters for a reason...

I mean no disrespect either - I would have asked the guy I saw but by the time I realized what he had he was leaving the lot...

thanks again -

I had a foot clutch and stick shift on one of my earlier bikes. I didn't have any front brake so that made it tricky for sure, especially on up hill stop signs. I'm thinking old kickstarter has difficulties from time to time too being he needs a hand for shifting, a hand for front brake and a hand for throttle and sometimes I imagine all at once,lol. Its a doable and calculated manuever and you have to pay attention to the details...the devil is in the details,lol.

You are not being disrespectful at all. The day we finished putting back together my basket case 1926 JD was the first time I had ever ridden a tank shift bike. The guy who helped me told me to head down the hill and shift up and them down shift before turning right into his field. I then started out and went up the hill, shifting. When I got the bike home I took short trips around the house to get used to the hand shift. Ever since then I have loved the foot clutch/hand shift. To me, it just adds something to the motorcycle riding experience.

That would have been an interesting ride with no front brake. You are correct, it is a calculated maneuver and you have to pay attention. From the factory the 1926 did not have a front brake but I put one on. Both brakes together were nothing to write home about but they did keep the bike from rolling back down the hill too fast. On the Heritage I have kept the front brake lever on the right side so I can operate it and the throttle with my right hand, like a foot shifted bike. My left hand is for shifting. I have the rocker type clutch that keeps the clutch disengaged when rocked back so I do not have to take the trans out of gear when I am stopped at a light.
