It could be more tapered to the fender for sure but it does look worse than it really is. They initially made the rear 8 inches wide but I told them to make it 9 last minute. I also wanted low profile for the passenger. The seat is great for the passenger and no sliding off the bike anymore. As far as power goes.... yeah its pretty bad ***.
I totally agree. Let me too first say that you have one of the baddest Breakouts I've seen. I Just love your bike. That seat however does not look "natural" on your bike. It appears there is no contour and looks like it sits on the fender instead of curving with it. If it works for the lady and you like it, that's all that matters though.

Good to hear. How is that 260 handling?

I really dig the two tone leather look and the rider's seat looks like it fits and flows nicely with the lines of the bike. I have to agree though, the passenger pillion portion of the seat looks a little odd. But hell, it's a custom seat so maybe it just needs a some test fitting and fine tuning to make it perfect.


Every time I look at your bike though, those clarity covers are cool as hell...looks really badass with the cams and gears showing through.

260 handles great. Much better than the stock tire. Leaning the bike side to side while turning is a lot better and traction is better too.

Yeah, I like the 2 tone leather look as well.. the seat will be corrected as far as the passenger part is concerned. I also really like the clarity covers and I'm very happy how the bike turned out. Thanks.

I know that I have been bugging you about pics of the 260, sorry. I just ordered one , please tell me of any clearance issues, modifications needed and when riding 2 up. I truly appreciate any info that you can provide..... Thanks

Ps I'm jealous of your budget to get all of the cool stuff because it looks great!

Hey. Sorry man I totally forgot to upload a shot.. here you go. There is no clearance issues or anything you need to do. I'm 1.5 inches lowered and ride 2 up all the time. No problems.
