I did the same as well. Unbelievable difference. But the heritage is only 40 pounds lighter than my ElectraGlide. I think it's because you have all that extra weight, fairing, gauges, wiring, etc., sitting on top of your fork.

Was able to test out the 2
Was able to test out the 2"risers, Avon Memory Grips and Klockwerks Fairing. It is way better out on the highway and great on the backroads.

I added a Hogwerkz luggage rack in place of the pillon. I put their engine and saddlebag guards on earlier, and was real happy with the quality.

IDK if there are any quality ones anymore, they've all gone to Chineseum. CTek and Noco both.
Optimate Chargers are made in Germany. I've used them for years.
