Fatboy VS Heritage
Fatboy VS Heritage
Ok, I was at my local HD dealer and was looking at a 09 Heritage. I was talking to the parts guy and was explaining what I wanted to do to my 07 fatboy ( which was basiclly turning it into a Heritage ). So The guy tells me the Fatboy is basiclly a striped down ver of a Heritage like a SG is the striped down ver of a EG. So I sat on the Heritage and the bike feels totally different WHY? ( IN A GOOD WAY) It's the same frame just with out the passing lamps, and bags. My question is it the hanndlebars and seat that much different and it makes it that much different? I mean the Heritage fit me like a glove the way it felt when I sat on it, maybe it was the bars? the seat?? I have a Mustang seat on my Fatboy, but the stock heritage seat felt better. Does anyone else think this? Or am I the only one?

Maimas is correct on the 200mm for FB and 150 for Heritage. If the Heritage felt better, just swap out your FB seat/bars, etc. for Heritage take-offs from E-bay, don't trade over, not worth the $$$$ you'll dump.

Yep, put Heritage bars on my FB
Prefer non hd bags and not into studded things. But, its what you like that matters... If you are a little patient, really nice bags can be had for 1/2 price or more, same with passing lamps, shield, crash bar... The extra stuff was found on this site, eBay and craigslist.

Nice bike man. Like the colors! Seat and bars could make all the difference in the world. It did when I put my Mustang seat and Wild 1 12.5" Chubby Apes on.
