Can't say I will miss the saddle bags... I had a tour pack on it that I did use a lot...probably miss that at first.
Today was first real ride as I put about 80 miles on it... so far I love it!

Congrats on a great looking bike. Im sure you will love every minute of it. I just got mine a few weeks ago and have enjoyed every mile i have put on it so far. Even the ones that i got stuck in the rain.
You also got the best color as well.

Congratulations!

I did the same thing 2 weeks ago myself. Got my Stage 1 yesterday. I hated the quiet, stock exhaust.

It's a great looking bike, I haven't had a chance to ride one yet. I'm trying to decide what direction to go after my 2010 Ultra. I took as much off my Ultra as I could and it's been a good bike. Since I'm 5'7 I'm considering either the Breakout or Heritage Classic. Both of these bikes fit me really well, my concern with the Breakout is no bags and little clearance with the pegs.Before my Ultra I had a 2010 Wideglide which I traded after 7,000 miles. I'm wondering how similar the Breakout is compared to the Wideglide. Enjoy your new Breakout it looks great !

I LOVE the feel of the lighter front end at low speed and the lower ride height helps my short fat *** too.
The deal goes down tomorrow and I will be riding it home.. Now I get to doo little nickel and dime stuff to make it mine.
well done! those are one of my favs..beefy looking! enjoy and stay safe
