Never mind, ordered some from the dealer. Other dealer didn't know what I was talking about.

Good idea. I might do that to the clamps.

Question for someone that has changed bars and replaced their upper brake line. Does this amount of thread engagement seem correct at the line to adapter? The other side with the slide nut threads in almost all the way but that goes in the ABS block. I'll put a wrench to it if it's all good I was just wondering if anyone had a similar experience. Thanks for any help

Don't know the part number. Call up any dealer and they can give it to you. It might take a while, but they can run it down...

I am wondering which fangs you are using- they appear to come all the way up to the bottom of the windshield?

so guys, after a lot of test riding other brands/bikes, considering options and going back and forth between do I want a 'sensible' choice (for example a BMW GS) or a 'emotional' choice (stick with Harley), I have decided to trade in my Low Rider S for a Heritage 114. Reasons are the LRS is not comfortable enough for me, suspension is a bit too harsh, and seating position doesn't quite fit me. I would need pullback risers, different bars, different seat, passenger pegs for the wife, floorboards/forwards and then I still don't have luggage options, a screen, cruise control or a better suspension. So this all adds up that trading it for a Heritage will be a sensible choice. The Heritage has a better rear shock (this is correct right?), just an overall 'smoother' feel suspension/comfort wise, and has a good relaxed upright seating position which will be better for my back. And I can take the wife and luggage.

Anything I should be aware of? Do I make sense? According to the dealer I definitely do. I'm 173cm (5'8-ish) and weigh 71kg. I did a short testride (group test) on the Heritage and it definitely felt more plush suspension wise, hopped on a Road King right after that and difference was immediate, the Road King (and my LRS) felt way 'stiffer'.

Those fangs on Milkmans Heritage appear to go all the way up to the windshield. Must not be JES?
