RE: Heritage Question
Yes. I just read about it in a mag while at the barber shop today. HD makes a saddle bag re-location kit for the Heritage. It can be used to move the bags back a couple of inches and if you change the floorboards, then you have to use it. Didn't give a price. I think the mag was called, Bike Works. It was the Aug or Oct Or Nov issue of '06. Read all three while I was there.

RE: Heritage Question
I haven't heard anything (until now) about a saddlebag relocation kit. That may be a good solution...
The fact that Paula's calves not only hit the crash bars but, they also hit the front edge of the hard saddle bags kept me from getting a new Street Glide last winter. Unlike the Touring models (kit raises the foot boards up 2 1/2"), H-D doesn't sell a kit to relocate the passenger foot boards on the Heritage. If only i had known about this kit last winter...[&:]
Even on the Heritage, she (5'2" with more evenly proportioned torso/leg length than typical female) could only get her toes on the pegs. I went through a couple of different set-ups until I finally settled on this foot peg relocation kit. it works great...though I did have to drill the stock foot peg mounting hole in the frame out to 1/2".

RE: Heritage Question
Check these out. Cheaper than the HD Chrome boards too.

BTW, the saddlebag relocation kit just changes how bottom strut mounts when you use the HD passanger boards, the bags themselves stay in the same location.
