I have one of these windshields for my Heritage 114. The quality is good. Just haven't gotten a chance to put it on.

To help reduce the updraft behind the windshield I'm using fork wind deflectors from Jess Custom Accents. I installed them inside of the windshield mounts. They do make a significant improvement in comfort. Seems we have bugs here in Wisconsin.
I was pissed, but I have since found out I don't really need them. It must be something about the shape of the stock shield, but I just don't get that annoying updraft coming from underneath the tank.
I do get some, but it's just enough to keep me cool. Hell if I know.

Now here's something weird. I had these same wind deflectors on my last two Fatboys and they worked great. When I got my 2020 Heritage 114, I ordered some used ones from a guy on this forum but the post office lost them.

I ride a lot of back roads with many curves and corners that cause speed changes. I shift gears several hundred times in a couple hours. My clutch hand was getting more than a bit tired at the end of a ride.
I put in a Rekluse TorqDrive clutch pack that has about 50% more plates and I used springs from Rekluse that have 30% less pressure.
To make the clutch action even better, I added Rick's Adjustable Levers and a Baker Throwout Bearing Kit. The Rick's levers installed perfectly with no issues. The Baker kit has 18 degree ball ramps that are just a bit easier to pull than the stock 19 degree ramps. Lubricate the clutch cable with .
For perfect clutch action and performance I use Amsoil Synthetic Dirt Bike Transmission Fluid in the primary chain case.
The clutch is easy-peasy now.

Here's the brake side Deluxe footboard with the same extensions as I posted about earlier. The extensions are just enough so I don't notice the air cleaner.
I've added a +1" Softbrake lever and a heel guard. The heel guard gives the same foot position feedback as the heel shift lever on the other side, plus, it keeps your foot off the exhaust pipe.
Now my feet rest in the same position on each side. The the brake is easy to apply and works with good stopping power. Probably due to the longer lever.

I like the analog tachometer ring that wraps around the perimeter and the fuel gauge that reads out in percent instead of that indicator bar that is approximate.

I installed the rear saddlebag guards to go with the front mustache bar. A good idea with the somewhat gimpy kickstand. I ride solo, so, I deleted the rear foot pegs with bolts included in the kit.
I mounted Ciro Drink Holders to the saddlebag guards. One on each side. Easy to use yet out of the way. On hot days you need to keep hydrated to ride safely.
I found a great insulated water bottle with a straw built into the lid. No need to tip it in your face to drink and the nozzle closes water tight. I can use the smaller 14oz size since I have two of them.
Just enough ice water to get through a tank of gas. Tested by me in Needles, CA at 121 F.

Try this for your drinks. The best thermos I ever found and allow you to open lid with one hand. This is Japanese company known for quality products. I love mine and it keep my drinks cold for looong time. I left it once in a car for 24hrs on hot summer day and 24 hrs later still had ice in the bottle. Simply amazing product. Now I like it so much I have 3 of these. In both of my cars and spare one at home that I take on trips on the bike.
