Is this normal?

these bags look amazing! Why couldn’t Harley put a decent bag like these on from the factory?

Anyway, just to confirm, these are compatible with a quick detach sissy bar? Are the bags also quick detach?

Not inexpensive, but quality and fitment are excellent. Customer service is unparalleled. Donna is responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful. I highly recommend this company and their products. You get what you pay for! Compatible with factory removable backrest and rear crash guards.
Built to clear factory exhaust, no need to convert to a two-into-one pipe. In my case, running Rinehart slip-ons.

Streak611: "Also I want white walls. If my tire holds up I'll get them at the 10K service. Any recommendations?"

Dunlop American Elites are available with a wide whitewall. *note rear American Elite with WW tire width width is 140mm vs. stock 150mm, but will fit fine
Dunlop American Elite Motorcycle Tires - 45131730 | JPCycles.com

If the link works correctly, you should see a page where you specify tire details via drop-down menus on the right side.


Metzeler ME 888's can be had with white sidewalls too. Metzeler ME888 Marathon Ultra Motorcycle Tires - 2703000 | JPCycles.com

Yes, the quick detach sissy bar works fine.
No, they are not quick detachable bags. You probably wouldn't like the looks of the exposed mounting hardware. You could remove it, though. Not a big job. Ten minutes per side easy.

I prefer the looks of the stock mufflers. Anyone running the American Custom mufflers on their 2018+ Heritage Softail ?

They are nice if you want it louder than stock. They are quieter than most aftermarket slip-on mufflers.

Anyone here went from a Low Rider S to the Heritage? My FXLRS is great, but if I stay within the cruiser/hd world I want something that's more comfortable over longer rides. And putting quite a bit of money into the FXLRS to make it how I want, will be the same cost for me as changing to a Heritage. Like the look/style of it. But it's always nice to hear experience from someone who went to the Heritage coming from a different Harley.
