Default Breakout help...

Hey does anyone know if aftermarket parts like sissy bars and handlebars that fit 2015, 16, 17 models will fit a 2018 model Breakout?? I have a 2018 and I'm looking for some apes to put on but they are nonexistent online. I can find previous years and it looks like the fit should be damn near the same. Anyone know??

I may be off base here, but the 2017 and back Breakouts had the twin cam engine and the old frame. You have the M-8 engine and new frame so possibly the earlier years sissybar may not fit your bike.

I can't speak about the handlebars but no doubt if there's a difference the aftermarket will have something available soon.

I'll be following this thread as I'm interested in getting a 2018 Breakout with the 114 and retiring the Road King.

I test drove a 2017 and did not like the stock handlebars at all, so I understand you wanting to change bars.
