Lowered my '18 Heritage
I had asked a few months ago (in a post I can't find) if anyone had Lowered a '18 Heritage using H-D Low Profile Rear Monoshock and Low Profile Front Suspension.
Never did hear if anyone has actually installed these H-D lowering kits so I guess I will possibly be the first (at least in this Forum).
I despertly need that extra inch (lower), so I went ahead and ordered both the Rear Monoshock and the Front Suspension kit. Going to start with the rear as this seems to be the easyest to change out and I think I can do it.
I'll probably hold on to the Front kit for a while untill I can find someone to help with the install that wont charge me an off the wall cost for labor.
It will be a while before the Rear is done but will post the results as soon as possible.
Keep tuned in.

Now I can almost flat foot both sides in my slip on boat shoes. Should be no problem with my thick soled riding boots. Could not go out for a test ride yet because the weather is terrible here in Central Florida....Rain, Rain and More Rain. Maybe there will be break tomorrow.
I purchased the Low Profile Front Suspension also, but will wait for my son to visit befor attempting to install. Also believe I need to purchase a special tool for the job.
I did not change out the Jiffy stand yet as recommendedt but will probably do so when I install the Lower front suspension. Will have to make sure I don't park on a up slope on the left side of the bike as the bike stands slightly more vertical now.
As soon as all checks out OK, I will have an almost brand new '18 Heritage rear Monoshock available for sale.

So after installing the Custom Dynamics Front LED Ringz, I started to have issues with Passing lights, they turn off unexpectedly after about a min or so, and wont turn back on unless I turn bike off and back on. I called Custom Dynamics (which customer service is amazing BTW) and they suggested that I check the DIAG codes while turning on the bike with holding down the trip button. Pretty cool. I then saw I had a B2108h error code. researched all around the internet and can't find much. I took out the LED lights and put back the original bulbs and cleared the error code. And yet after riding down the block the error came back and same passing light issue. Now Im clueless what to do besides taking it to Dealership for warranty.

Seat Question
I picked up my 2018 Heritage last week and really enjoyed the ride home and loved the ride and the way the bike handled but hated the seat. Just could not get comfortable and felt like I was sitting on a brick. I traded in my 09 Heritage, which was a trouble free bike loved the seat and drivers backrest.
Has anyone installed an aftermarket seat with good results? I've had some good results with Mustang seats in the past with a few jap bikes that I've owned but I'm reluctant to spend that much on an aftermarket seat until I hear some feedback from other guys with the same bike.

I have Custom Dynamics LED's installed in both the Front and Rear Turn Signals plus I installed their Brake light. No problems with any other lights.
