Are those drink holders the regular size or the big ones?

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 guess these are fatboy boards are these any bigger/longer or same size as stock Heritage?

Those are foot boards from a Softail Deluxe. They are almost an inch wider at the front where my foot is. The stock Heritage boards curve in more over the front half.

I wanted more luggage capacity on the bike, a backrest, and good all day seating comfort.

I decided on the matching H-D TourPak in the solo position. This looks acceptable and provides a backrest. Several parts are required:

Docking hardware kit
Solo detachable luggage rack
HoldFast Locking Latch
Heritage TourPak

I moved the bolt locations in the bottom of the TourPak to get it (and the backrest) a bit further forward. The two bolts in the front corners hold the mounting plate to the outer shell making it a lot more solid on the bike.




I added some Saddlemen Medium Saddlebag Liners. They are a good size for the Heritage bags, leaving some room to put other stuff around them and pull them out past the bag latch.

For the seat I picked the Mustang standard touring seat. It fits the bike perfectly, is well made, and comfortable. Get the mini-bib with the seat, p/n 78064.




I added Harley Circulator Pads for the seat and backrest. These let air flow between you and the seating surfaces. I think they work great.
Circulator Seat Pad
Circulator Backrest Pad

Good eye OldMike. I put 12 point ARP Hi Strength Stainless bolts on the engine covers. They are rated 170,000 psi (grade 8 is 150,000 minimum).

I don't like the hex socket heads that hold dirt and water.

I bought a kit from Alloy Boltz: Bolt Kit The side cover screws were extra (not in the kit).

Re : Dakota Digital Speedometer

You and Dakota Digital say that the MLX-2011 will fit 2011 and newer softails including my 2019 FLHCS......

J&P Cycles says it will not. Why this matters is J&P sells it for ~$50 less.

Were there any fitment issues....you said plug and play so I assume not.

Thx

Thanks a lot....as much as want to use an HD speedometer.....I think I am going in this direction. Will solve the condensation issue and it looks superior to boot.
