Hello, Badbagger09,
I went thru the same decision process before I bought my Deluxe. The reason I choose Deluxe was flexibility. When you strip Heritage down, it doesn't look good, but Deluxe is great loaded or stripped (see my Album for examples). The bags will work (just) with stock exhaust, and they are larger than the HD version, but have all the Deluxe trim (but I imagine you will want to change exhaust soon anyway just to let the engine breath and run cooler). I'll soft hold them for you until you get back to me. The bags are in excellent shape. Thanks, Ted
