Thunderbike added their cool personality to the Breakout.
I see no mention of any modifications to the drive belt, swingarm or rearend, except changing the rear fender which doesn't impact rim or tire fitment, and they managed to successfully fit the Metzler 260 in there.

The Metzeler 260 fits the Breakout fine, as does the Dunlop 250 which is pretty much the same width when mounted on the stock wheel.

Now need to have a pre-fitting of custom seat and fender to drill the seat hole on the fender before paint job. Rear fender with integrated taillight and blinkers is the most expensive (about $1550) while the naked one is about $900.
Also bought flat risers to lower dragbar, we'll see if there will be enough clearance between tach bucket and Blackline console.
I'm still waiting for further engine parts to finish my project, they should be delivered shortly. Guess within 3/4 weeks I should have everything installed and bike should be done...

I'm in Canada so no doubt that'll equate to $14K then add tax HAHA jk
I'd like to lose the rear curled up lip fender as well.
I'll be looking forward to seeing your progress.
