Default Aluminum Headlight Fairing

Thought I would share a few pics of this aluminum headlight fairing I just added to my 2023 Breakout. The fairing came painted gloss black…good quality paint, no runs or orange peel. The fairing bolted right up with the hardware provided too. I think it works well with the dragster look of the bike and I love the fact that the risers and top clamp are still exposed and prominent. The beefy risers and top clamp are one of the styling features I love about the bike. Overall, I am really pleased. I scored it on Amazon if anyone else is looking for one.

Thanks for the compliment. Have you done any mods to yours? Would love to hear about anything you have done.

So far I've just added HD Fused Lo bars (10" rise) & some black side/battery covers I found on Amazon. I also had some work done to the stock seat. It's comfy for longer rides but I'm not thrilled with the look, so I have LePera bare bones on the way. I also have HD profile mirrors coming.

Bars and side covers look nice.

Even though I love apes, I am going to stick with the drag bars on this one. I am thinking about lowering the rear end an inch just to give it a lower stance. I will never ride two up on this one anyway. I am also thinking about a mirror change and pegs and grips. Not sure yet on the exhaust either.

what are you going to do with the exhaust? Stock or make a change?

I'm not tall enough to reach the drag bars comfortably on this bike, so I knew I needed to change bars right away. I'm not riding this bike two up either so I removed the passenger pegs to clean up the look a bit. I may put a set of slip-on mufflers on at some point but I like my bikes on the quieter side these days.
