I noticed there is a website just for owners of Heritage Springers 1997 to 2003 models (shiny chromed springer fork) As much as I love H-D, to me it was a very low point in the motor companies history, when this model was dropped from production. :newsmile030: I will never understand why? To me it would have been a strong seller.
Yeah I love the springers too. My next project for my dyna is that i'm taking the frontend off and replacing it with a springer frontend. Now if stuff will stop popping up so I can save so $ to do it I will be happy.
I remember the first one the pulled into bike night. In all it's fringe and red leather accented glory. One old guy walked around it and said " it looks like something only a drunk shriner would ride". I guess he wasn't alone.
Known as wacka-wacka ,, a friend worked at a local h/d shop & that's watt he called them.. i liked the look if it has a fat tire up there.
I am a teetotalling Shriner since 1975, :newsmile058: I love the 1997 to 2003 Heritage Springer. IMHO the most nostalgic machine ever produced in recent times. FYI some statistics from the website I mentioned at the start of this tread: Heritage Springer Production Stats: 1997 9,717 1998 7,738 1999 2,790 2000 3,669 2001 1,857 2002 1,876 2003 3,100 R.I.P.
Richard please DON"T SELL the Anniversary Ultra Classic! I have the same bike and whenever I see your Ultra lookin' good I see my own bikes potential. But I have to admit, the Heritage Springer is a bike that I have secretly coveted too so I don't blame ya! :57:
