I am so confused, is the problem with Spyder's ass or with the seat?

Spyder don't let them "youngsters" give you a hard time.

I think the Blue and Black is great if you can't step up to REAL HARLEY COLORS......

Wait a minute...In my never to be humble opinion, I do not believe the MotoCo had "that" orange in mind when designing their "company's colors". Do not get me wrong, I like 'em, however I do not believe they follow the company's exact "colors".

 

[RATKING]

Not to start a controversy, but these are the "real Harley colors", orange and olive drab.  This is a picture of my 1981 Heritage.  This is the first Heritage model, the one designed by Willie G himself.  There were only about 750 made.  This bike is 100% original; hard to believe it is an antique already.  I used the bike as a centerpiece for pictures at my 50th.  For what it is worth, I am on the right.

Hey RatKing, tell us more about the '81 Heritage.  Was it called a 'heritage' and are those bags and seat original?  How many miles on her?  And, what 50th did you use her as a 'centerpiece' for??  [smiley=nixweiss.gif] spyder

[RATKING]

Hey Spyder, thanks for the interest.  It was actually called the "Heritage Edition"; it is written in gold lettering on the front fender.  It is the first "Heritage" that Harley put out.  Just as the 1971 Superglide was young (at the time) Willie G's first custom, it was Willie G's project to bring out a commemorative Heritage bike.  They made it in only one color combo; olive drab and burnt orange.  This is the color combo you see on the old, old originals in the early 1900's.  The paint scheme is basically that of the 1964 FLH.  It is one of those paint jobs that you either love or hate.  I think that there were only 781 made.  It is said that this special edition bike was brought out in 1981 to commemorate the purchase of Harley back from AMF Corporation.   It is called the “buy back” bike.

 The bike as you see it is 100% stock.  They used the heavily fringed leather saddlebags and leather seat (pogo-stick) on this machine and it looks really nostalgic.  It came with a windshield and windshield bag which I have.  The bike came with a lot of special features, including a personalized dash if you chose to have it engraved.  Mine is still virgin.  1981 was the first year for the 80 cubic inch Shovelhead powerhouse, with the old 4 speed trans; it was chain drive of course.   There are 18K original miles on this old baby.  This year (2006) it is an antique in Pennsylvania.  This bike runs great, but it is an entirely different ride than the new machines.  After riding my CVOs, this is like driving an old Model T; technology has really improved.   But the bike’s got class.  It is a great old Shovelhead.  I used it for pictures for my 50th Birthday party.  

If there is any further interest, I can dig her out of the garage and take some quality digital pictures of her.  Full details on her are in many of the Harley History books.

Well, Jeg, it's kinda hard to say.  We know that d00d put 970 miles per day on the '04 SEEG seat (same as mine).  We know that Jock put thousand plus days on a '04 SEEG (stock seat?) while I try to limit my day mileage to 550 or so.  Of course I'll 'dead-a$$ it' if I have to, but....getting to old to enjoy high mileage days......and I usually don't 'have to'.  har!   spyder

[the O`Fender]

I have over 30K on my '04 seat and still love it, I have always preferred firm seats, they make for more agressive riding IMHO!!! O/B rules [smiley=pumpkin.gif]

Ratking 1st 80 cubic inch shovelhead was 1978, scooters in early 1900's were mostly gray hence the name "silent gray fellow".

Yes please, more more. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

I'd like to see more pictures of it, also.  These are the kinds of things that you just can't sit back and be quiet about.  Hell, I didn't even know of this "Heritage Edition" bike till this thread.......and I'm betting that many others here didn't either.  Please, show us more. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]
