RE: Why do people do this?
Did I turn my deluxe into a heritage by adding bags a back rest and windshield?. No I likes the little details and whitewalls of a deluxe. There are differnces between the fatboy loaded up like a heritage and a heritage.

Chunks ,
Looks like you have the quick detach for your windshield , got them on your fender strut also ? Maybe for a quick detach sissy bar and bags ? Just out of curiosity did you learn the hard way ? By the way I very much perfer FB over the Heritage but thats just my taste . Now that I think about it a little more , a good reason for buying a FB and adding the touring stuff is : in my mamy trips to different HD dealers I've only seen 1 or 2 Heritages as compared to probably a hundred or more Fat Boys .

The rest of the time I prefer no windshield.
No detach mounts on my fender strut.
Sissy bar is fixed mount and I wont ever put saddle bags on the bike because I personally dont care for the look.
For road trips I have a bag that slips over the backrest/sissy bar but I dont use it very often.
I didnt learn the hard way. I knew what I wanted before I got the bike and set it up just like that and have had
no second thoughts on the matter

Jeez, Chris, You really stirred one up here. I love it! Ask a simple question and get a complicated answer. Turned out to be a pretty cool thread. By the way, I will probably always have the Fat Boy and not the STC. Just because.

How does that Physics lesson go? "The shortest distance between two points is a straight line."? Seems like alot of money and ground to cover when the starting point was already the destination. Damn it, I think I just confused myself. [sm=happybounce.gif]

They go out and buy a fatboy and proceed to turn it into a Heritage softail.
FatBoy + Saddlebags, windshield, passing lamps, handlebars, spoke wheels, etc. = Heritage Softail
If you wanted a Heritage, why didnt you just buy one?

Whew. For a minute there I thought you were talking about me.
But as you can see, I migrated more toward a Deluxe I suppose....I don't know. I just like it.

RE: Why do people do this?
I bought a used 2001 Heritage. I do not like spoked wheels, so I put a set of Fatboy wheels on the bike. I also like the clean fenders, so I added a Fatboy front fender. I would have changed the rear fender to, but I didn't want to have to deal with the rear turn signals.
The bike looks great, kind of like a Fat-itage!
