i have to be honest i first wanted the amber but settled for black. i really like the black now. and i think black looks best with minimal mods. the bright colored ones have to have a bunch done to look good. which is exactly why 24v's looks so fantastic, it's because he has gone over every detail of the bike.

just my $.02

I can agree with that. The stock red bike looks terrible to me. Honestly, the day I got home with my bike after stripping and trading in my Blackline I wondered what I had done. But then the mods started falling into place and I knew I made the right choice. There are so many ways to make these bikes look awesome.

I have yet to actually see the NEW 2015 red in person (regardless of in or outdoor) so i cant make a decision yet. Im not down for any kind of pink/purple hue to the tone.
If anything its going to be between the 2013 Ember or 2015 Black.
I do plan on adding plenty of black to the look. Hate to say similar to 24V and be a copy cat but hey...similar styles and likes...great minds think alike?
only thing i wouldnt do is the hangers, im just not a hanger fan and i think the flow of the Breakout calls for drag bars or something lower and racey

Maybe i can hunt down a low miles Ember red 2013 from a HD dealership in FL and make a deal. Thanks for all your feedback guys!

24v if you manage to get next to a new Mysterious Red please do post up!

I was also thinking that Green color could be done really well but if there is one thing i hate...its Tribal. even the subtle hint of tribal lines in graphics. I have Yet to see the Green in person, is that under the paint or clear coat?
or a decal that can be stripped?

Before I ordered mine, I had big hopes that H-D would make a satin black Breakout for the 2014 line. I'm surprised that they still don't offer it in 2015.

Here, you can see some of the pink and purple tones. I'm not knocking the color but it's just not for me.

I have the radioactive green on my Slim. It is not a decal. It is under the clear coat. It looks nice out in the sun. I have plenty of pics of it under the thread "wait is killing me", here is a link for it with pics on page 4 and 5. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...illing-me.html
