Default Softail Tool Box
Been thinking about trying to put a tool box on my '09 Heritage. I don't use the saddle bags or the passenger foot pegs
so they aren't an issue. I would be putting it on the right side as I'm running a swingarm bag on the left side. I think I've seen a
few pictures of them on late model Heritages. Would appreciate any suggestions on which ones may work.

Thanks Scudda. That's the type box I want. Should have mentioned I'm thinking black.
If that one will fit I could paint it.
Appreciate you.

My bud has a Slim with the right side box but the hinges are on top, when he opens it the things inside come falling out, bugs him. I would think hinges on the bottom would be better, maybe the lid would hit something with bottom hinges, any one know ?

Yeah, I can see that. FWIW, I use the toolbox liner/pouch.
