Agree to disagree then, I've always liked the Fatboy badge style so it's staying. Much preferable to the insipid oem M8 Heritage badge, and I don't like most tank vinyl graphics either. I do agree on the AC stickers though, they'll have to come off.

I had the Fat Boy style badges on my FLSTN for nearly 26 years, so I was ready to make a change. I actually like the current tank emblems (one of the few styling features of the new Heritage I can say that about).

What do you, the collective, think?
I think the badge is okay, but I think the placement is a little askew, at least compared to the stock placement.

I would like to take this opportunity to reassure everyone that the placement is not askew, it is merely the camera angle that is the difference. Although I am (and anyone who knows me will back this up!) quite capable of making a complete impatient f**k up of things like this.....on this occasion I did it properly with sticky tape and rulers and stuff and I took my time. I much prefer the badging, as I never liked the oem tank emblem.
I thank you..........

Just to prove I can measure space and distance, a view from the LH side. I'm sure you will all agree, it is indeed, the way forward!

I don’t know, man. Even if the camera angle was the same as the H-D image, it still looks askew to me. But, if you say it’s not, I have to take your word for it. Besides, if you’re happy, that’s all that matters, right?

Anyone know of a gloss black layback license plate frame that is decent and more importantly is in stock anywhere?

Thanks for your service.
Check out Amazon, I ordered a carbon fiber license plate frame. I believe they also had gloss black too.

I have been using my J&S lift on my 2018 Lowrider and it barely fits underneath the bike. I see the Heritage sits a little lower than the Lowrider. My question has anybody used a J&S lift with a 2018+ Heritage? If so how did it fit underneath the bike?
