Wow. I got a 2021 Heritage 107 too. The 114's were just coming in but they only had weird colors so I stuck with the vivid black on the showroom floor with the 107.
I had a Stage II installed to give it the extra snap it needed for 2up riding.

The lower bar protects more of the lower side and takes impact before the uppersliders will, and I originally wanted the Highway Peg 2 Step Crash Bar.
But BungKing could not confirm for me if it would contact the front fender or not. But they did tell me the Highstep crashbar would 100% fit and they knew it'd be fine.
So I bought the highstep.
It saved my bike from being totaled so, why not go with it again? I picked up the old one from the dealership yesterday, and you can see the lower sliders are really heavily ground up and it's clear they took a lot of impact. It probably stopped the frame from being bent.
Also the HighStep crash bar has Bullet Holes in it, just like the Fat Boy's Bullet Holes in the console. I thought it was a nice little touch to add a bit more bullet hole styling to the bike.

Finally got some new style mag wheels on my FXBB, looks so much better. Let alone the time I save while cleaning.

Just got back from burning bike in Daytona. I guess a take take on burning man out west, IDK, but it was cool. Rode up last weekend and stayed overnight, but there wasn't anything going on. Went up this weekend and it was lit.

All tolled, about 1000 miles on the putt.

Traded the 2023 Heritage in my signature picture for the 2024 Hydra Glide Revival. I couldn't help myself, it took me back to when I was a 9 year old and my neighbor's daughter dated a guy with that model. All the guys in the neighborhood lusted after that motorcycle

Absolutely SWEET bike.
I may be a youngin around here but it's bikes like these that make me love Harleys so much. That is such a gorgeous bike.
If you want some slip -ons for sound and dont want to give up that great stock muffler look, check out American Custom, they have pipes for the Heritage that are based on the stock slip-ons.
