How long does it take...
to change the Heritage Classic to a solo ride? I.E. removing the passenger seat (is the stock seat even 2-piece?), the backrest, and the windshield and saddlebags. If these items come off easily it might be a wave to safe some cash vs. buying the fat boy and adding these accessories.

RE: How long does it take...
The stock windshield comes off in seconds. I added the quick release hardware to my sissy bar so it comes off in seconds, then I added a luggage rack so that it's all in one and comes off as a unit. It takes maybe ten minutes to take the back seat off and put on my fender bib. When I bout it in January I wondered how easily I'd be able to take the saddle bags off when I want to, but I don't want to. You wouldn't believe how nice it is to have somewhere to carry my leathers, maps, tools, raingear, a cool beverage, etc.

RE: How long does it take...
I go back and forth with mine, take about a half hour. That includes removing the saddlebags, removing the sissy bar and p-pad, then reinstalling the saddlebags. I like to ride with it set as a solo but when the wifey wants to come long I have to reassemble to a two up. I don't bother with the windshield either way, it always stays off unless it gets real cold [mid to upper 30's].

RE: How long does it take...
I agree with Kid N8 buy a Heritage... after you ahve ridden for awhile you find out fast that it is nice to have a place to put things. I ride in the mountains and the weather changes all the time. It is great to be able to put the leathers and rain gear on and take them off when it gets hot in the valley, saddlebags are a must.

Takes a few minutes, but it is simple and changes the look quickly. I'm going to put mine on right now cause the wife and I are going out for a ride. I take my saddle bags off when washing, but like Kid N8 said it is great having the space for a cold drink, maps, leathers etc...
