Harley-Davidson Heritage Springer (FLSTS) review

A tough, retro look that is pure Panhead
Styling, front Springer suspension
Will cost a fortune is chrome cleaner

Not tested

This is TWO Editor Alex Hearn's personal favourite. The retro Springer front end enhances a superb ride by providing a smooth and precise ride. The looks are straight out of the Panhead era of Harley's - black powedercoating for the frame and forks, wide swooping fenders front and rear, laced wheels and a silver powdercoated engine. To enhance the looks, the pilion pad is easily removable to turn the Springer into a solo ride.Not tested
