Yes, and very easily. There are pics earlier in this thread. Looks good. Like a blacked out Deluxe without bags.

Just be careful putting them back on. It’s very easy to cross thread the mounting screws in the threaded inserts. My right saddlebag screws were cross threaded courtesy of the factory.

Yikes...that’s annoying.

I replaced the torx bolts with grade 8 hex also.

Default Did anyone cross-shop Sport Glide?

Torn between the Heritage and Sport Glide. The SG calls to me... love the look and easy-remove bags/faring. But it will need new bars, seat, floorboards, bigger screen to make it “fit”. Heritage is not my favorite regarding style but when I get on it, it fits like a glove. SO comfy. Anyone else consider the Sport Glide? Any advice? Both are 2019 leftovers.

My buddy just bought a left over 2019 Heritage in the billiard blue/white. My lord that bike is beautiful. Very little needed to make it the perfect bike IMHO. When you don't need it, taking the windshield and bags of is quite easy.

I like both, but for me I'd go Heritage if I had to choose.

The Sport Glide never made much sense to me. It's not sporty or toury. The Heritage is the way to go, IMO.

Heritage strips down very easily too, so I’d judge it more on what style and fit grabs you the most. I like the lean look of the SG, but it’s charm is it’s minimalism. If you’re going to bulk it up, maybe the Heritage is closer...it’s basically a Slim / Deluxe with extras and taller shocks. The SG is more of a Dyna or older Softail standard vibe...

Its essentially the same frame so which one is closer? Cheaper to pull off than add....
