Been looking for a black mounting bracket for windshield. Can't find anything for 2018+ unless it includes windshield, which I do not want. Is the current bracket the same as previous Twin Cam brackets? If so, I am seeing several black brackets for earlier model Heritages.

Starting to use the Heritage for touring lately instead of the Road Glide Limited. Some days I'll just wander around turning wherever looks interesting. Sure would be nice to have a compass or Direction indicator and Maybe outside temperature. I can do without the altimeter that's on the Limited. I don't see either one of these functions on the Dakota Digital gauge. Any ideas?
My phone stays in the pocket. I know how to read the sun. Old and confused when cloudy out. I searched, but didn't find anything.

When just riding nowhere it is best as you can see where you come out on any given road.
And with connected to your USB connection right below tank on left side (softails) phone stays 100% charged.
Also use the corrected mph from Google maps to set my cruising speed.

Here you are, only about $6.00 on Amazon. Works great. Sometimes the old-school solutions are still the best.

You can get a look at the Aerostich site aerostich.com). In addition to jackets, gloves and motorcycle camping gear they've got things like air temp gauges and compasses for handlebar mounting. Their target audience is adventure bikes and the sport touring crowd, but most bike riders will enjoy poking around their catalog.

Yes, this question may have been addressed prior but here goes. I am only 700 posts into this thread LOL I own a 2002 Wide Glide which is awesome and I am keeping it. Through research, test rides of all sorts of HD models, and first hand experience (a recent 5-day rental - long story), I have decided on purchasing a Heritage in the Spring. Depending on the 2022 colors, and the all-chrome 114 rumor, then perhaps a 2018+ My wife also has a 2021 Heritage and, of course, her insight is always helpful. The bike is extremely comfortable on the longer rides. That said, I recently had a bruised tailbone injury. Severe but nothing broken. I am recovering nicely and I WILL be riding again!
My question is, I need to get the best padded seat I can find. Has anyone here had a similar injury and, if so, what kind of seat have you purchased that was helpful? If not, have you had the stock seat modified by a professional? I have always been all about a soft seat, car, truck etc., but now I have a specific reason. Again, this is assuming you are riding a Heritage.
Thanks in advance!

You might consider an Airhawk or Wild-*** cushion. The really good touring/distance seats like Mustang and Corbin are great - after you break them in. But, for the first several hundred miles, they are pretty firm and probably not good for your injury. I have had both the Airhawk air cushion and the more expensive Wild-***. Both work by inflating slightly above minimum with a cushion of air that is distributed over several pockets. The various pockets are of differing materials between the brands and (mostly) account for the big price difference. I was using the Wild-*** on my 21 Heritage 114 until my Mustang seat arrived and I now use that. But, the air cushion seats do work and are flexible by changing inflation to your situation.
