What I wrote earlier....the only real improvement, IMO, is the dual disc front brake. Only combined with the small 19'' wheel....su***. The combo 18'' in the back and 21'' in the front are features that make up the Breakout. Some people rather tend to go for a 23'' front rather than a smaller one.
Neither am I fond of the 110 cui engine...my rather mild upgrade on the 103 (stage 1 plus cams) performs just as good as the stock 110 maybe even better
.
Eventually...when I see the silhouette of that CVO Breakout it instantly reminds me of the Street 750....see?

Mehhhh....
Without sounding like a motorcycle scientist....I don't like it. I was excited to hear about it, but disappointed once I saw it. The paint, smaller wheel and blacked out is just not my cup of tea. Then someone really burst the bubble when I saw the HD Street picture comparison. I like that 110ci but not enough to trade in my "Amber".
Enjoy whatever you ride and see you on the road.
Ride on....

I think I said I was ranting... Our definitions of "slow" are apparently different. I consider 0-60 faster than most other road worthy vehicles as not slow. I consider Ducati's and other sport bikes extraordinarily fast. To me, that doesn't make a Harley slow. Anyway, not arguing. I just see a ton of comments on this site about how fast all the sport bikes are which should just make any discussion about a Harley being fast a moot point. I disagree. It's all relative.
Anyway, ride on!

I don't see what the issue or big fuss is- a lot of guys own both a Harley and a Ducati or other sport bike. Each bike does what it is designed to do well and has its own particular shortcomings. So I think you guys are saying the same thing in spirit.
I'll be the first to bitch about my Softail being lame in corners, not as agile through traffic and much longer braking distances. And I'll also be the first to bitch about my R6 being uncomfortable on long rides. Both of these gripes are comparative ones though having ridden both types of bikes for many years.
And Da-Rza21 I know you REALLY wanna talk about lady gaga dontcha? I mean, that's totally cool man. I know you like the whole small hands thing . waahahaa.

This is an interesting argument but no matter which bike we are speaking of they have more than enough HP. The fact is the roads are so crowded and since we are the fastest vehicles on the road, we can't use the HP we have. The beauty of my Harley is that I enjoy cruising at almost any speed and few bikes anywhere can give me that feeling and fun.

your right I do kinda like her...she has a great voice..like her better now since shes not the only thing you hear about anymore...hell I would tap any of them including the kardash sisters..hell maybe even the mom as well!...btw where was your thread again on the invisible front signals?...couldn't find the link that rockerb sent me..they came in the mail yesterday..did you solder the wires to tabs of leds first then dip them so it covers the solder on tabs?...thanks dude
here's the link post is halfway down the page: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...today-288.html
sure you could solder them first then dip em, totally fine. actually would be easier that way. try to find super thin black silicon wire like what you'd use on an RC car or computer. if you strip apart a USB cable you can use those wires but they probably wont be black. thin wire is easier to hide running from the base of control to the bulb. you should only need two 4" lengths per side. there is no polarity with the bulbs they work hooked up either way. test each bulb on a battery first to make sure they work before installing.
lol yeh i think most wouldn't have a problem with tapping that..

There's just something about having a Harley and a Ducati as an excellent pairing of bikes to own. Besides, any die-hard rider worth their salt owns at least a second bike (or at least would like to own a second bike, sometimes it's not possible for one reason or another). I mean, whatcha gonna do when one is down or in the shop for upgrades? lol
