Key Features

PROOF THAT HISTORY AGES WELL: Lockable saddlebags, full LED lighting, and optional tubeless laced wheels meet vintage lines, blacked-out trim, a detachable windshield, and 2-up comfort. It’s a classic factory custom that doesn’t fear change.
LOCKABLE, SEALED SADDLEBAGS: Symmetrical, weather-tight saddlebags keep your gear secure and dry, with enough style to look like they’ve been here since day one.
FULL LED LIGHTING: A 7" LED headlamp, tail lamp, and turn signals sharpen the look and light the way, making sure this classic shines from every angle.
OPTIONAL TUBELESS LACED WHEELS: Choose between blacked-out cast wheels or tubeless laced wheels for easier repairs and timeless style that ties the whole bike together.
VINTAGE STYLING, MODERN COMFORT: Deep paint, blacked-out trim, and the iconic tank medallion give the Heritage Classic its unmistakable silhouette. Add in plush 2-up seating, and you’ve got a factory custom that carries the weight of history and still feels built for today’s ride.
TWO-TONE DETACHABLE WINDSHIELD: Vintage style, modern function. The Heritage Classic’s detachable windshield cuts wind and keeps pressure off your shoulders when you’re freewheeling highway miles, then pops off for a clean, stripped-down look when you’re bopping around town.
WHERE PAST MEETS FAST: The Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic motor and performance-tuned 2-into-1 exhaust give the Heritage Classic the kind of muscle that makes history move, with a retuned suspension that keeps every mile sharp and smooth.
MILWAUKEE-EIGHT 117 CLASSIC MOTOR BUILT TO THRILL: Big torque, smooth delivery, and the unmistakable sound of a Harley® V-Twin motor. This is the most powerful Heritage Classic yet.
PERFORMANCE-TUNED 2-INTO-1 EXHAUST: Built to move more air and deliver richer sound while balancing the bike’s symmetrical saddlebags, it’s equal parts performance and presence.
A RIDER’S FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION: The Heritage Classic’s suspension is tuned for all‑day comfort through sweepers, stop-and-go traffic, and everything in between.
PERFORMANCE HIGH-FLOW INTAKE: A classic throwback shape with a modern twist, the filter feeds the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 more air for optimal combustion, better throttle response, and performance you can actually feel.
WISDOM FROM EVERY ANGLE: A 5" analog gauge with modern tech upgrades, USB-C charging, adjustable brake lever, and standard Rider Safety Enhancements, plus ride modes, ABS, traction control, and TPMS bring smart thinking to timeless style.
5" (127 MM) ANALOG GAUGE WITH TECH UPGRADES: Classic analog style with integrated tech gives you critical ride data in a layout that feels right at home between the bars.
USB-C CHARGING POWERS EVERY MILE: A built-in USB-C port adds modern convenience to the Heritage Classic’s timeless muscle, keeping your essentials ready for every mile.
ADJUSTABLE BRAKE LEVER FOR EVERY REACH: Fine-tune your reach and feel for confident stopping power, whether you’re riding with normal gloves or in full winter-weights.
STANDARD RIDER SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS: ABS, traction control, drag-torque slip control, and TPMS don’t change how the Heritage Classic rides, and they make sure nothing else does either.
CRUISE CONTROL + RIDE MODES FOR EVERY ROAD: Three selectable ride modes (Road, Rain, and Sport) plus standard cruise control let you match the bike’s response to your mood and the road ahead.
