Default Updated new wheel***My slightly modded 1996 Heritage. Before/After
Couldn't find a bad boy so I got the same year and did a repop 45 springer instead. Worked out cause the 45 was 2 inchs lower than todays factory springers and I wanted to lower the rear anyway. Heartland 250 kit, front and rear 18's, joker machine pipes and updated some engine chrome. I've already been told to ditch the floorboards but I think they are "old school" looking and accent the springer. I updated them with new pans and did all streamliner asessories since I just got out of a street glide and I liked the look haha.

**updated** decided to go fenderless with a 23 inch front. I like it better. Now I'm considering doing forward controls... but we'll see.

After having the touring bike I really like the boards.

Nice change over, a sweet sled!!! I also agree, keep the floor boards. I knew my 1st bike with floor boards over foot pegs that there was no going back for me. I wouldn't know how to act without floor boards anymore.
