That's about enough ​​​​​​. I hope it works out and you like the results, and maybe even learn some things about suspension in the process.
Read rider experiences, then. I have.

Here's my 2019 Heritage with the S&S 2 into 1. I plan to do hard bags too in the future and shouldn't be an issue with this exhaust.

Has anyone added an advanblack ST fairing to an 18 and later heritage classic?
Or has anyone come across pictures of one?

Has anyone explored why the HD Fused Lo Handlebars are not listed as fitting the 18 and later Heritage Classics? I know the risers would need to be changed out but other than that, should they fit?

Here is what mine looks like with the work done and the bags on it (same pipes so good choice). Still have more black parts I am working through like the air cleaner cover and battery cover. Saving up to do the whole front end next.

Wondering if anybody has either bought one of the new '25's, or explored P&A fitment on them? I've been able to determine that some of the parts, like Engine Guards, seats, few others, still fit the '25's. But, the big question I have is the aftermarket exhaust options, like the above S&S 2-into-1, or same with Bassani and V&H. I looked at the new Titanium slip-on for the '25 model, and it says WILL NOT FIT a 2024. I would seriously consider trading up to a '25, primarily for TPMS and all the other RDRS features, but the 117 motor and Ride Modes would also be nice to have. Also, have called Hogworkz, and they have still not checked into whether or not their Saddlebag Conversion Kit will fit the '25 model. And, not getting much help from Parts guys at the 2 local dealers I frequent in my area.

On a related note, I didn't think the Hogworkz S-Bag kit would fit a Heritage (or Hydra Glide in my case) that has the V&H 2n1 Pro Pipe, but last weekend there were about 6 H-D's sitting at one of the 2 dealers that guys who live in Washington state had shipped down here to do some riding, and/or for AZ Bike Week, and one of them was a 2023 Heritage with the Pro Pipe, and he had done the Hogworkz S-Bag conversion on his, and there was maybe an inch or so of clearance between the bottom of the bag and the top of the pipe, so now I'm thinking one of my options would be to just go ahead and order the bags from Hogworkz and take the chance that they would fit my HG. Of course, Hogworkz's website says ther kit WILL NOT FIT the Hydra Glide, but when I called them to ask why not, the rep just said that they just don't even check into fitment on any of the Limited Production models, like the Icons, including my Hydra Glide. If I could sell my HG, I could pick up a really nice '23 or even '24 Heritage for way less and have a good chunk of $$ to do the hard bags on it, and know upfront that the conversion kit would fit. BUT, 6 months and no offers on the HG, other than 4 trade offers that didn't work for me. The market is beyond poor for a private seller, and I don't know that it's going to get any better even with warmer weather in the rest of the U.S.

Appreciate any input anyone has.

If you take a picture of the exhaust location and send it to Hogworkz they will let you know if it will fit.

Here is where my exhaust sits compared to the bags and the axle.
