Default Removing FLSTC bags
Hey guys,
If I remove the bags on my 2014 heritage do I need to buy any hardware / covers or extra parts to cover any ugly bolts or supports?

Thanks

Not really. If you want to remove the shoulder bolts the bags hang on, just replace with chrome bolts in their place.

Thanks.

How do you like the Dragula pipe? Almost ordered one but ended up going with Softail duals.

FWIW, HD sells chrome covers that are held on by a magnet...I never take my bags off, so I don't know how well the covers hold up.

IIRC, the magnetic covers is for the detachable saddlebag hardware, not the stock bolts.

Love the pipe. Great sound and performs well. The internal and external ceramic coating really helps with the temps. And it's manufactured by Rush, so you have their quality to back it up.
