Who here has used these inserts and has anyone bought the ebay ones?

What is a quick release bag system, and where do you find them. I've got a 04 Heritage

[GlennM]

that would be ghost brackets, bubba's quick release, easy brackets, etc. This allows quick removal of your bags. Consists of some type of pegs on your fender rail and possibly a bracket on the back of the saddlebag allowing you to just lift off the bag from the pegs.

I have a '97 FLSTC and love it. Haven't done alot to it:

Screaming Eagle exhaust
Chrome switch housing and switches
luggage rack
front fender bumper
Headlight and signal visors
passenger floorboards
re-jetted the carb

The Heritage is the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden.

Here's a pic:

I like the look without the passenger seat and sissy bar. still thinking about the low profile seat.

Here is a little different look. I've had my Heritage since I bought it new in '91.
It's in the process of a new paintjob as we speak. I've also been collecting a box of new/different parts to throw on after the paintjob. So even after 14 years, it never stops. There is always something to change.

Oops, my photo was too large. I had to lower the resolution. Let's try this again.

This is good, renewing the bike here and there helps it continually feel new, in a way.

Well, this post is a bit off topic, but I might be finally selling my old sportster! Its an 00' xlh-883. I may be selling it to a co-worker...he got me down to my bottom price but its still a fair price for that bike....5,000. I wasn't going to squable over a few hundred bucks it was a fair price according to Kelly Blue book. Its not official yet but pretty close to being a done deal...What do y'all think?

Anyhow, I lived that sporty but it doesn't matter becuase I LOVE MY HERITAGE alot more!!! Much more comfy and better riding! I just had to add that because this is a Heritage owners discussion...and it will help my sell that good ol' bike with all those great memories! Heck, if it wern't for that bike I wouldn't have met my wife...lots a great times we had on that bike. I guess its a sentamental thing too to sell that bike.

anyone have a picture of their bike with Kuryakyn Cruise Arms on it or any feedback on them? I'm thinking of installing a set this weekend.

I have Cruise Arms on my 04 Heritage and love um. Easy installation, maybe 30 mins.
Here is a link after my handle bars were installed.

First off, Thanks to this forum. The information and its members are fantastic.

I currently own a 2003 1200c Sportster Anniversary silver/black. This is my first bike and I have been riding for about a year and a half. I opted for the sporty because of budget, size, and being a beginner. Although my dream was always to own a Heritage. I have been giving serious thought to trading up already, but don't want to jump the gun and move "up" too soon. I guess my question to the forum is some history on the progression of bikes others have owned here. Thoughts on moving on to a Heritage after only getting a year and a half out of my sporty....

Thoughts, comments, rants. welcome

Thanks,
T.J.

Do it! It helps the economy.
Actually, Over Thanksgiving I traded in an '04 Deuce that I had for 14 months. The Deuce was a nice bike, but just couldn't get comforatable on longer rides. Plus, this damn '05 Heritage came along and knocked me on my ass. I've never looked back.
