Default another hardbag install (Heritage Classic)

Okay guys I used the Sumax kit was about 3 bills and its a pretty decent product. I was able to score brand new 100th bags on ebay so thats what started this whole itch. I also went with deluxe beach bars because I think the stock heritage bars look funny without the windshield, IMO. I still have to install some new deluxe wheels and a deluxe seat but the seat needs to be modded because the side tabs are different I found out. Oh and by the way you can still use the detach kit but the fender studs need to be slightly modded (need to cutoff the saddlebag thread side of the bolt because it wont clear the new bags). Also the real turn signal bar wont clear so Im gonna try to mod the original first otherwise fatboy or deluxe bar. I dont know if its just me but I not feelin the studded seat with this setup so cant wait to get the deluxe seat on.

Very Nice! Well Done! Have you thought about some rear signals?

The Cycle Visions tail light eliminator would really set the rear end off.

I should have my cycle vision bagger tail kit on the front porch when I get home today. I went with the road king custom hard leather bags for my 04 Fat Boy. I am still completely up in the air about how I'm going to do my rear turn signals as well.
I think the autogem derringer lights are the front runners right now, but I'm not even sure those will work. I haven't seen the cycle vision tail light eliminator on a bike yet?
Any pics out there Doc?

SD_Nick,
I just noticed yours. My original lightbar no longer clears the hardbags and was thinking about the shorter light bar, I did a measurement and it seems like a real tight fit. Is that what you have? or what are you using?

Close to perfection, those white walls really make a difference on your ride, get rid of the OEM air filter cover, put on one of this, and you're all set.

Mimo.



Ps: I even found it with your bike's paint scheme
