Also keep in mind that the FB stock shotgun exhaust will limit your saddlebag options, so if you're planning on installing large bags, plan on swapping out the exhaust. Good luck with your new bike! paul

You can run the tires tubeless on the FB. The Heritage comes with a shield, bags, & aux lights. Wheels can be changed out on a Heritage cheaper than adding what the FB doesn't have.

The Heritage is HD's BEST overall bike in my opinion.
