I'm new to the forums here but i figured id share some pics and info about my 2018 115th Anniversary Heritage Classic 114, I have about 500 something miles on it so far. Got a few mods done to it. I want to finish swapping out chrome items on the bike for black items. Specific future mods are to get the front and rear fender chrome trim painted to match the Anniversary paint scheme on the bike, Get the windshield chrome trim pieces powder coated black, switch out the chrome clutch and chrome brake lever for black ones, switch out the chrome shift linkage bar with a black custom one, and get a layback license plate for the rear, replace chrome trim rings on 3 lights up front with black trim rings, replace chrome heat shield on mufflers and pipes with all black heat shield. Then after cosmetics have been done i will stage 3 the bike.
I already have the below mods to the bike done, trying to use as many Harley brand parts as possible and use all high quality parts of course.

Dealer Removed the front hub cap decoration for me that was on the front wheel(Ugly as hell in my opinion)
Tab Performance Zombie mufflers with no baffles with black tips.
Screamin' Eagle Pro Street Tuner
Black mustache engine guard
Replaced chrome Harley mirrors with Black Harley Mirrors
JES Black Fangs/wind deflectors for front wheel
Grasshopper limited Driver back rest with pocket
Defiance tank gauge Bezel black trim ring
Custom Dynamics Halo LED Turn signals with smoked black covers
Custom Dynamics Rear LED turn signals/Stop light(Red) combo with Black smoked lenses
Custom Dynamics SMART Triple Play light module to change light patterns/flashed etc....
Harley Davidson rear LED Brake light with smoked lenses
BMC Rear fender bolt / helmet lock/seat lock
Ram Mount setup for Phone - X Grip IV Large
GO Pro Hero 6 with Bar mount

Not to be a smartass, Jarhead, but you could have bought a blacked out Heritage in the 107.

I really like the 114, saved money by having it come with all the little anniversary additional covers and upgraded parts and I like the paint scheme, also couldn't pass up the deal at this particular dealer vs others. So far ive just been replacing chrome with black or painted to match pieces, but i do like the paint job and eventually I'll build it up to stage 3. I felt the 114 anniversary was a better starting platform to build off of, And like I said i got a good deal for the anniversary edition all because they would have had to get an all black one from another dealer, and they needed a sale. I ended up paying less with a few accessories for my bike than I could of at 3 other dealers for the base model here in AZ. Felt I had to seize the opportunity.

I've had one mirror unit replaced under warranty because it wouldn't stay where I adjusted it to for more than a few miles. Anyway, I looked at it today and the mirrored part has slipped down into the frame leaving a gap. They've agreed to replace that one.

Well the Mustang seat with backrest is a great seat except I am finding that it brings me further from the bars than the stock seat.
So I am back with the stock seat.
Now I wish I could find a seat with a backrest that puts me in the same position relative to the bars as the stock seat.
Any ideas? I have not found one yet.
Maybe the Corbin, but I do not like the way Corbin mounts. They do not use the stock mounting scheme.

Man that looks awesome: I agree the bib you have on it now looks better than the chrome one.
