Default breakout fairing

New Harley Breakout owner. Rode imports about 20 years ago, just bought first Harley. Love it to death. I am looking for a front fairing for a breakout that doesn't kill the drag bike look but still directs air over riders at highway speeds. What do you guy's suggest, pictures would be great.

Thanks,
Parrish

Nothing that looks good will be functional, nothing that's functional will look good. Breakout is meant to eat wind!

The detachable sport shield is nice - quick on quick off. (#57301-06). Windvest also makes a nice, minimalist sport shield for the Breakout (#10-1092C)

Here's a picture of the HD on the Breakout.

Agreed. Anything you put on to block wind is gonna look like *** on these bikes. I have a small windshield that I use for long trips. as much as I hate it, it really helps after 6-8 hours on the freeway.

HD 1/4 fairing with Bunking brackets to fit wider forks. Works like a charm- still some wind about 1/2 way up on the helmet- but no parachute effect on the body- and great on long rides.

thanks a bunch for sharing that info. I will probably be grabbing this fairing up. Looking to get a lower sitting danny gray seat as well. Think the carlini bag drags I have installed will look nice with this fairing.
