I remember this is touring seat from Corbin. If you check Corbin website you will easily find it as it is really intuitive in finding details for your model. Really comfy BTW

Visors look great, glad you got them on.

I liked Burbur2'sphoto so much I took a similar shot when I was out riding yesterday. My photo skills are not as good as Burbur2's and the bike is pretty dirty from all the squashed bugs, but I thought I'd show-off my bike anyway. Totally loving the bike having a ton of fun with it. Recently added Olin's to the front and a Progressive shock to the rear.

Olin’s manufactures excellent suspension ya can’t go wrong.

I actually wanted an Ohlin for the rear as well, but I wanted a stiffer spring and more shock travel. It was easier to go with the off the shelf stiffer spring Progessive shock w/RAP. I really like the shock. I was first concerned about the RAP would be hard to know where the shock was set since their are no markings, but it turns out it's easier than the stock system. I just count rotation of the adjustment shaft or you could measure how much the spring has moved from no preload. I was also very impressed with the install of the RAP under the seat, the bracket they provide is a direct bolt on.

I went with Ohlins on the front because even through it is a cartridge system each fork leg has a spring. Really liking the front set-up. Small adjusts really change how the bike handles. The suspension upgrades really improved the ride and the handling. If I want to really carve the corners it's one setting, if I want to just have a nice easy smooth ride its another, with just a few adjustments.

I went with Progressive monotube cartridges and 442 with rap when I had my 2014 Heritage. What a word of difference, I thought I was on a new bike.
I have a 2019 Heritage 114 now and if I don’t go into a Street Glide next year, I’m changing out the suspension too.
Thanks
