Still fairly new to the 2018+ Softail threads, so if this has been done before, I apologize but have not seen it. I love threads showing what mods or changes members have done to their bikes. The old Softail forum has this thread, and I figured we need to start showing what everyone has done to the M8 softails. Post pics of before and after, as many pics as you need.
Mine has not changed much, but Ill start it off:

after

Not too bad at idle or highway cruising. When you get into throttle, it is pretty loud. This is a 128, so not sure what the FatCat sounds like on a stock M8.

Heritage is such a good looking bike. I really yours.
Thanks - seems like people really like or hate the new Heritage. I am pretty happy with the changes made, and am really enjoying the way the bike rides and handles.
I had a 20 Heritage and loved the handling and performance but couldnt get passed the lack of room in the saddle bags. Went back to a bagger mainly for that reason.
Heres my Deluxe in the showroom
At this point, Ive added glass, fangs, engine guard, grips, throttle boss, stage 1, a few covers on the engine, lay down plate, rear fender rack, and detatchable bags.
As of now, Ive added a Sundowner seat, Progressive shock and fork springs, blackwall tires, and cast wheels. The bags were removed for the picture.
If I do anything else, itll be a 2:1 exhaust and hard touring saddlebags painted to match.
