I thought about a new Heritage & like what you mentioned (to a degree) I would put on a fairing, true dual exhaust, better saddle bags & quick detach tour pack along with other things & when I priced it all out id be better off with a Limited so... Ill be keeping my older Heritage which already is set up for touring.
of all the bikes being released Im wanting to see the Heritage for 25 - honestly the touring line up is becoming a piece it together tour bike that is looking more like what Indian would make. maybe in person Id think different but honestly at the prices they`re asking I have no interest in the new bikes.
Because for one the chassis wasn't designed to carry all of that. You'll be exceeding the GVWR or the tire capacity, or both. They don't do a true dual exhaust because a single cat is cheaper. And finally, Harley doesn't give a crap about their customer base and their wants. If you want it, they will sell it to you for an up charge after the fact. They don't make any complete bike, cvo included. You always have to add what you want.
Only thing I can help with Is the garage door opener. I purchased one off of Ebay for less than $10, its a small keychain kind. Just program it, remove the keyring, put a piece of Velcro on it and the windshield or any place handy, and you are good to go.

That's a pretty good idea, I could easily mount something like that between my Garmin and iPhone mounts on my custom dashboard.
You want hard bags and fairing on a Softail, Lowrider ST. You want the same hardbags as the Touring line, aftermarket. You want the same size tourpak, aftermarket. But honestly, why? The bags and tourpak from the Touring lineup are way out of proportion for the Softail frame. Just because the aftermarket can help you cobble something together doesn’t mean its a good solution and the factory should do it.
It's a marketing thing. The bike you are describing would inevitably cut into tour bike sales. How would you sell a dressed tour bike with a dressed soft-e sitting next to it in the show room for thousands less?
I love your idea, but waiting for the factory to build it for you will leave you upset. On that note why not build it yourself. I've added a windshield, saddle bags, trunk, passing lights, engine and bag guards to my Fatty. Touring comforts on a lighter frame. I'm happy...
