I bungee a blanket roll on the handlebars and the back fender. I can carry all i need that way. You might want to get one of the back packs that will hold your puter. I've seen some guys on the forum who use a "messenger bag" i think its called. keep it clean. Its a great lookin bike.

Nice looking Heritage and welcome. Plenty of good information to be had here. As far as carrying stuff around, right now I use a back pack when I need to. Good luck and enjoy the ride.

Look into getting yourself a detachable sissybar they make great bags that slip on to those for storage. By the way love the emblems, they look great.

Cool, that is great information about the emblem. I think a detachable sissy bar to put a bag on the back might be the best option for me. Until then, bungees will be my friend. Boy, riding in 40 degree weather sure is coooold right now! (But you can't have a brand new ride, and not use it!!)
