I have the SE stage 2 torque cam and the bump was very noticeable. I’d imagine the power cam is too, but the cam itself isn’t expensive - it’s the install labor you’ll notice - so you might as well find a stronger after market cam your power vision can play with. In my case I was maintaining warranty and am happy with the results...with your tuner you might as well go all out.

I finally got the JES wind deflectors installed. Now I feel there is more heat around air cleaner. I got the wind deflectors installed on inside of windshield washers. Is this because of that? Their site says "CAN BE MOUNTED OUTSIDE or INSIDE Wind Shield grommets."

I have the H-D fangs and I mounted them to the outside (per the directions). It's hard to say if the deflectors are truly causing increase in heat for you without actually measuring. Obviously they reduce the air flow coming up from the lower fork area. When mounted to the outside there's a gap for air to hit the engine, but not saying if this is significant or not. I know when I installed my fangs I was overly conscience of the heat from the engine and thought surely there was more heat then there was prior but now after a while of riding and having taken a 3,400 mile road trip to Black Hills I don't think about it anymore.

Yep, there is one on each side.



No lock hasp in the way. Seems to be a little more storage, especialy because of the bump towards the rear adds more usable space.

The install was easy after figuring out the instructions...needs to be a little clearer.
Two bolts replace the Heritage mounting bolts.
No longer need to unbolt the bags to remove.
Easy on /off clamp that locks on and secured with an interior keyed lock.
The cargo straps have hidden easy connect heavy duty plastic clips but the cargo straps could be used by them selves to hold the lid closed with an overstuffed saddlebag.
The lock is very secure using a long curved latching mecanism that hooks into the hasp.
The leather is very HEAVY DUTY and workmanship seems supperb.
Now if those bags were available without the buckles on the sides, I think I would be buying a pair.

I need a tank pouch for the Heritage so I can have my ID card within easy reach.

You get stopped by the man that often you need your ID at the ready?

You could also attach a sun glasses case to the inside of the windscreen and carry your ID in there my friend. Just a thought!
