MajorAdamsPL, I've thought about this since the wife will not ride but I want to add a removable rack for a tour pack for longer rides. Haven't pulled the trigger yet. Would love to see a working set up first if possible.

Ponderopa, No saddle bags either, huh? Don't know if I could go that far myself. I like to carry too much crap! I noticed you still had the passenger floorboards on. Just curious why. I thought I would try to remove my pegs but wasn't sure if it was possible.

This is the stripped down version. It only takes a couple minutes to put bags, tour pak, etc back on. Sorta like having a convertible....

That is how I have my bike set up. I always ride solo and when I bought the Mustang seat, I only ordered the solo seat. I think it looks goods without the passenger seat and sissy bar. Of course, that is one reason we like Harleys, you can make it your own.

hey ya..

I was wondering what other harley wheels are interchangeable with a 2003 flstc, in particular i was wanting to run a 21" up front. I seen some wheels on flea bay to fit a wide glide and was wondering if they would fit. Does anyone have first hand knowledge with interchanging wheels on heritages?
ride on

Not me, I love the FL bars with the 2in risers for my '97. I am sawed off at 5ft 9in w/30in inseam so this does me well.

Here's a working set up.


There's also a solo-style rack if desired.

Cool. Thanks. Definitely nice to see, even in the 2-up, but am looking at the solo setup myself.

So that's the removable setup? If so, how long does it take to remove or install?

[zartoff]

Since it's detachable it takes only a minute or two to install or remove.

I added 12" fat bars and 3" risers to my 2002 heritage I needed longer (cables and wires)

[Riverrat45]

I had Apes on my sporty and I'm used to that.

I just got my heritage in December so I don't have much miles on it yet...dang snow. I don't want real high apes...maybe 12 inch or so. Not sure if I have to change cables for that or if stock will be ok. i think I will have to go to a 2+ or 4+ overstock cables, maybe.

I also had issues with the stock Heritage handlebars on my 2007. My hands would go to sleep while riding. The first thing I did was pullback risers..four inches up and two back. That didn't give me what I wanted so I put on a set of medium buckhorns. The buckhorns turned my wrists in instead of straight out so my hands don't go to sleep now and I didn't have to change my cables. Hope this helps.
