2009 Harley Davidson FLSTC Heritage
Softail Classic
 
Refreshed FLSTC Heritage Softail Classic
Rolling on new signature wide whitewall tyres, the
Heritage Softail Classic receives a number of other
more-subtle styling changes and new components that
shift this popular model in a new, even more retro
direction for 2009. The beefy FL front end features
a front fender and chrome headlight nacelle with clean
new styling cues, while taller handlebars change the
rider’s profile. The fuel tank has new glass-filled,
3-D badges and is topped with a classic “cat’s
eye” console. Half-moon rider footboards and
a large, oval foot brake pad also nod to the past.
The passenger seat and backrest have been revised
for more comfort, while the rider seat has new trim
that matches a leather console panel, revised saddle
bag trim, and new sissy bar trim. The passenger seat
and backrest and the king-size windshield can be quickly
detached for more streamlined cruising.
