Default Heritage change?
Thinking of putting a batwing faring and a touring trunk with wrap around back pad for the wife on my 97 Heritage. I was wondering what you all think.

I am thinking about the same thing, but only with quick disconnect.

No, just buy a whatever Glide--kinda taking the Heritage out of the Heritage. That said and since you asked, do what you want. It's your bike and screw what people like me have to say.

Do it and get all quick connect. You can have the best of both worlds, a heritage and a touring bike

I'm giving a lot of thought to the batwing myself; but I just can't go the trunk and passenger chair...

Highly recommend the Memphis Shades batwing fairing. It's well built and absolutely kills the wind updraft that whips around. With brackets they go for around $400. No sounds or speakers, but who needs it?

I"ve thought about a batwing for my Heritage. Of course if I got one I'd have to have a killer stereo too!
