After reading a lot of post here, decided to buy this 2018 Heritage. It is a left over that I got a super deal on with 9 miles on it.
Always been a bagger guy with gloss paint and lots of chrome but wanted something different. Never thought getting a bike that was blacked out with denim paint.
Sad thing is, took it for a test ride and dealer is storing it until spring. To much snow and salt to ride now. Can't wait for spring.
Any suggestion for accessories? I know that's a broad topic.

Nice, and only 9 miles. All kinds of mods and upgrades, thats something you'll have to ponder this winter.
I have one minor suggestion, get rid of the stock grips. They suck in the rain.
For now I'm going to keep the motor stock. I like the list of extra's you've put on. Thinking more with engine guards, LED lighting, backrest.
If it a 107, I highly suggest a simple breather upgrade and tune. Made a world of difference on my '18. If it is a 114, stock OK, from what I've I read.
I believe early must do's include:
Add an engine guard and change out the stock mirrors for ones you can see behind you. Yep, the grips also, as already mentioned.
Changing out all turn and brake lights to LED's. (I like them with smoked lenses). A tripple play module from CD makes the rear much better lit.
Rreplace the stock windshied with a properly sized Freedom (or equal) recurve windshield and add a set of Fangs. Most Heritage riders seem to find these a necesity as wind buffeting seems to be an issue on the the '18's and up.
Might want to consider a Grasshopper backrest and a set of risers for the stock HB. Both go a long way to making the ride much more comfortable.
When you find a bunch of extra cash, you might want to consider getting rid of those horrible stock Saddlebags and upgrade to somethinlg like Leateher Pro SB's. Then there is rear saddle bag guard rails, sissy bar, luggage rack, on and on and on.
