The Everything 2018+ Heritage Thread
I'm 6'1" and for me, the buffeting caused more ear ringing than my exhaust. The fangs alone helped but didn't solve the buffeting. I used a measuring tape from the top of the stock 19" windshield with the help of an assistant to determine the height requirement for the new shield to reach nose level which for me was a 21 1/2" shield. I ordered the Freedom shield with the blacked out bottom and smoked top shield with the curve at the top.The improvement was so significant that I really can't adequately describe it. The wind noise is 90% less than it was.

Are you referring to this company? https://freedomshields.net/product/heritage-windshield/

I'm just the opposite of mongomark, Only 5'6 (and shrinking) and sit low in my Reach seat, so I chose their 15" size and it does a great job of pushing the wind up and over my helmet.
I can highly reccomend the Freedom Shield. That is the correct link.

2018 Heritage parts
In Mid September I will have (All in VERY good condition) Stock...set of saddle bags, gas tank & windshield for sale. Bike went almost all the way down (I stayed standing) in a minor bump that took most of the hit to the front fender. Lots of unnecessary stuff is being replaced. Harley service is getting a check from the insurance company so they marked everything up with their blue pencil.
Saddle bags: have a few shoe scuffs and nothing more.
Windshield: has a minor scuff around the size of a dime in the lower right corner (from the driver's viewpoint). Does not effect visibility at all.
Gas tank: I didn't see any marks but it being replace as well. I think the service guy circled a smudge of wax residue I missed polishing off!
I will update if needed in Mid September when these parts are back in my hands.
Any reasonable offers will be considered!

I searched but didn't find much on this relative to the new heritage so here goes. Has anyone either installed or researched an audio system for your new bike. HD has a boom for it and Kuryakan has a set up also but want to be sure as I can be. TIA

I use the Sena helmet commuting and for other short trips.
I use the Shoei Neotec II modular helmet for multi-day rides and in inclement weather.
Sound is better in the Neotec II and at speed, both are better than the Boom system I had on my former Ultra.

Probably not the direction you want to go, but I'll put this out there for your consideration, if you wear helmets. This is what I do when riding my Heritage 114.

Or you can just go with Bluetooth earbuds.
They do double duty as great earplugs as well.
These are quick and easy, great sound !!!

Does anyone have the power cams installed? I am happy with the torque but feel the hp falls off too early. But being HD cams, not sure they would add that much more to an already good motor. A dealer offered me a deal on a set that was returned so am curious. I have the bassani slip ons and a powervision tuner.

Louder horn for '18 Heritage
Has anyone replaced the stock horn on an '18 Heritage for something louder? Or maybe just added an additional horn of some kind?
If so, what and any install details? Maybe pics also.
Thanks
PS: Just ordered a Wolo Big MAX 619 (Black). Saw an install on youtube on a Brakeout or Bob, can't remember, but it fit. gonna give it a try.
