I wish I could give whomever neglected to tell me they were going to come out with this bike a piece of my mind.

Yes Im new here. Hi Im james and Im the ownere of a 2013 CVO Breakout.
Stock bikes, even the CVOs are STUPIDLY lean from the factory.
A simple tune can make a5-7% power increase with no mechanical mods at all.
My wife's 103 went from 94 ft-lbs to 102 ft-lbs with just the tune.

Real nice looking bike but damn pricey. For that kind of money I'd rather get a Road King

I'm not sure why you paid $35,000 for a bike that list for $26,499 MSRP?
If you did I'm sorry.
I also have a CVO Breakout and love it. Best bike I have ever owned.
As far as the non-CVO goes, it's looks nice but by the time you spend all the money trying to improve it, why not just get the CVO.

The cheapest I could find one was $29500. By the time you pay TT&L and any interest on a loan you are paying close to $3500. It's a great bike but it isnt fast.

You should sell it and get a fast one then.

I smell sarcasm. Im just sayin that I would think a 110 engine would beat a 1700cc which I think is around a 103. Im puting VH pipes and a race tuner on it to try to wake it up. The stock pipes suck. The bike is looks incredible and has everything I would do to one already done.

A 2 into 1 exhaust and a good set of cams would wake it up even more.
