Default CVO Breakout

Stopped in the dealer to look at the Low Rider S but the Breakout really knocked my socks off. I would have to be in the "stupid rich" category to consider ever buying one, not something I think I'll need to deal with

Saw one last week. IMO, the CVO kills what I like about the breakout. No rake and no big front wheel.


Other than that, I like the headlight cowl and chin spoiler.

It's one sharp bike. Seen a few threads on it lately too.

The 35 degree rake is the same.

Only doesn't look like it due to the small front wheel, the chin spoiler and those awfully overloaded inverted forks

They are V-Rod forks and nothing on them that doesn't exist on any other inverted forks with dual disk brakes and fender mounts.

That doesn't make them look any better.

here we go again

just throw a 21" wheel on, racetech springs and ricor dampers for Vrod and all good. We know HD uses soggy stock springs in their forks and are always under-damped. If I had my heart set on a new BO-S the above changes are not total deal breakers. what bike do any of us own that we have not modified in one way or another?

although I will *always* be scratching my head on why HD went with the puny front wheel and no more nice Gasser wheels. that is a total WTF.
