I took my new 2012 heritage & some how ended up with with a heritage solo. Docking systems allow the bike to go solo, no bags ,No wind shield , no passengers. Added the chrome fender rack & boom. The great escape.

I believe they are Cycle Visions, not to steal Whisker's thunder.

Yes (thanks El Rey)...they were made by Cycle Visions in San Diego. I checked their website and called their store. Unfortunately, they don't make them any longer. Wishing now I had bought a couple more sets of them. They used to sell for $65 / pair when I got them. Check out ebay...?

The temperature soared into the upper 30s today . . .So, I finished installing the horn; turns out the bolt in the back of the horn adjusts the sound! Also, I finished installing the amber spot-lamps, though I wish I had known the Wagner 4415As were made in China as I would have purchased the GE version (USA) instead, damn. I made my own socket for less than $6 as opposed to the Sanp-On version. Then I installed the n.o.s. derby cover and ac cover. I used all stainless steel bolts for everything, just took some polishing effort with the Dremel tool. Once again, thanks to all those who have inspired my vision of a classic motorcycle!

Thanks for the information.

I wonder how much alteration and effort it would take to install the teardrop heritage springer nut covers?? I found a few pair for sale online and love the look and am willing to drill and tap if necessary; has anyone thought about
these before?

I had a friend who is no longer on the forum install them on his FatBoy. He said it took some time to do it but it eventually worked out. It was a great look, as I recall.
