Deluxe vs Heritage
I have a Heritage and I love it, but my head is always turned by a nice Deluxe. I can take the bags off mine and put lower bars on it, but it's just not quite the same. Good, but no cigar.
So I am a little confuse about the visual difference between the two. Just what makes the Deluxe so much prettier than the Heritage, given they are the same basic bike? I am really temped to look into trading, but my wife would kill me.
I feel like a guy with a very fine wife, but who keeps looking at even hotter women and wondering "what if".

RE: Deluxe vs Heritage
GO to the photoshop forum and check out what the guys did for Brian and his Heritage. The whites make the difference. Here is the link:

RE: Deluxe vs Heritage
Well, the white walls are something I have considered lately and will prolly do as my tires are getting some miles on them, and Brians bike looks great with them. BUT, I think it is more than that. Maybe the lower seat? Also of course the tomestone tail light is cool. I can't think of any other differences.
By the way, I looked at some 08 Deluxe's at the local stealers and they are prieced very close to $20,000. I think that is above MSR by at least $1,000.

RE: Deluxe vs Heritage
couldn't give you a part number but recall the std arms are 12inch ? ( not sure for your year ) You should be able to get either 8 or 10 inch replacement armsquite easily.
I got my bike delivered with the shorter arms specifically because I thought that without bags they would look a bit too wide.If I find a pic i will post.

RE: Deluxe vs Heritage
Honestly, the only things I can see is the taillight set up (tombstone and shorter arms on the turn signals), lower seat height and different seat and different bars. Other than that they've always been identical in my eyes. I actually purchased a set of Deluxe bars for my scoot with the 4inch pull back risers (haven't installed them yet cause I'm seriously considering beach bars).
I think they're both sharp looking scoots.

I'm really not trying to make my Heritage into a Deluxe although I know it must sound like that. I'm just trying to make it as good looking as Deluxe.
Thanks all for you imput.
