Heritage Classic

Timeless Style That Refuses to Sit Still The 2026 Heritage Classic is the perfect blend of vintage soul with modern muscle. We’ve packed a Milwaukee -Eight® 117 motor into its low-slung frame and mated it to a performance-tuned 2-into-1 exhaust that makes it a monster. It also comes with lockable symmetrical saddlebags, LED lighting all around, and optional tubeless laced wheels. The only thing “Classic” about it is the name.

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.

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.
