Harley-Davidson introduced the Heritage Classic 114 as part of its redesigned Softail family for the 2018 model year, bringing the long-running Heritage name into a new chassis and giving it a more modern interpretation of the brand’s nostalgic touring-cruiser formula. The 115th Anniversary edition of the model was a special 2018 variant, marked by commemorative badging and anniversary treatment rather than a separate long-term generation. It combined the Heritage Classic’s traditional look — including a windshield, leather-laced details, and hard saddlebags — with the updated Softail platform that Harley used to refresh its big twin cruiser lineup. The anniversary version is significant because it sits at the intersection of two important Harley-Davidson themes: the company’s heritage-oriented styling and the major Softail redesign that launched for 2018. As a result, it is best understood as a limited commemorative execution of the modern Heritage Classic 114, offered for the 115th anniversary year only.
