How do you like the Metzler white walls? They look great.

Soooo much better than stock! Probably not as good as some I was looking at, but they were all non-white walls. If i stick with white walls, I'd purchase again.

I appreciate that. I've got about 2K miles with the bag on and no issues on the fender.

The front tool bag will definitely hit the fender. And if you have a lot of tools, will put a nice dent in it. The metal is very thin. I had placed some clear vinyl wrap but still made a small dent.

I like the Dakota digital dash but didnt realize it stuck up so high.

My buddy received a 180/16 width tire in error, should have been for a 18". Too expensive to ship back. Can the 180 fit on our Heritage? I am guessing a 160 is max on the stock rims.

I had both a klockwerks and a clearview (with vent) on my Road King. I did prefer the clearview, the vent made a big difference (although it's not that easy on the eyes) and I could get it the height I wanted. As soon as I'll get my new seat I'll get a clearview for my Heritage too.
