Quick bit of help needed... my bike came with a quick-release HD sissy bar, which I don’t want and will sell.
I’ll sell it with the docking hardware, so I’ll need to buy replacement bolts to hold the bags on - can anyone kindly measure the length of the stock saddlebag mounting bolts for me, so I can order the right things?

The Heritage comes stock with saddlebag spacers that fill the gap where your docking hardware is currently. If you remove the docking hardware you will need the spacers, not shorter bolts. The spacer is part number 90201669, and you need four of them. Just mounting the bags directly with shorter bolts won't work.

You're all welcome. To be honest, the idea wasn't mine, it was borrowed from another thread. I'd have linked to it, but I've forgotten where it was or who started it.
Stinkerbill, Who makes those "Tulip" pipes? Don't think I have ever seen those before; they are very unique. Wondering if there are any videos with sound on YouTube?

I have seen two that are similar, one from Paughco called Bell Tip
I had the Paughco ones on my old slim. They were great bit expensive for what they were
These universal ones I also had on my previous Heritage back in 2018. Only about $125 for the pair and I have the Fuelpak FP3 on auto tune so they run great, plus they have a more standard style baffle so its easy to find multiple universal fit baffles that fit so you can play around with the sound and volume.
You will need to make up a couple of right-angled brackets to fit them. Ill make a video when I can get some time.
I originally had the Vance and Hines slash cut slip ons but didnt like the sound. These tulips have a more authentic Harley sound
