I know there have been a few out there that have put full Vance and Hines systems on their Breakouts, but VH's website continues to warn against putting their 2012 softail full systems on the Breakout. Something about the oil tank?? They do say that part number 26065 can be used in place of the big radius 2 into 2, but I can't find what part number 26065 even is (can't even google it and find anything). Is there anyone out there that can provide some insight into all this? Thanks.
I found the same thing, so I called V&H. They said that the current model Big Radius 2-into-2 does not fit the Breakout. Model #26065 is a new version of the chrome Big Radius 2-into-2 that will fit the Breakout. It is not available now but they expect that it will be ready in "early March".
My dealer said the fitment problem with the presently available big radius is the placement of a clamp. They have still installed them on a few Breakouts by removing...then moving the clamp.
Since the intro of the model that fits is so close, I think I'm gonna wait.
