Does the two models have interchangeable accessories like saddlebags, backrest, and windshield? I don't know if a backrest comes off a Hertaige will it fit on a Deluxe? Tough to find out information on HD. I understand that years matter, but 'like' years should work, right?
Thanks

 

Some stuff works and some stuff does not interchange without adjustment. Heritage bags will not just bolt up on a Deluxe for example. The Deluxe is an FLSTN in the catalog so if it says it will fit that model it will. The Heritage is the FLSTC and accessories that fit this model may or may not fit an FLSTN.

Windshield and backrests are interchangeable.
HD Saddlebags on a Heritage will not go on a Deluxe with stock exhaust.
Road King HD saddle bags will go on a Deluxe.
AsCommander said, the catalog is not too hard to decipher for FLSTC and FLSTN fitments.

 

Most stuff will fit. The only real problem you are going to have is with the passenger pillion. The Deluxe has a luggage rack, so the passenger pillion is made to fit over it. You have to get a seat that is specifically made for the deluxe.

 

i heard that the heritage handle bars will fit the deluxe , do you know if that is true ?

 

I've just been in your place. And I spent 6 months deciding. I went with the heritage. While they are basically the same bike with the same mounting positions. Most everything you will want to mount to the Deluxe will requirea mounting kit. The windshield, the bads, the sissy bar. But with only two expections just about everything on a Deluxe can go on a Heritage. You'll need to rework the fender to get the tombstone tail light one and the wrap around rear turn signals will won't fit with the Heritage saddle bags. Plus you'll spend a fortune getting all the extras.

 

I have V&H pipes on my scoot and they are lower than the stock pipes so should work but wonder if the Heritage bags will fit with my stock tail light. It looks like it will be REAL close.
