Default My 2016 Breakout

Guess I've been lurking around here long enough...

Here's my 2016 Breakout, Charcoal Denim. Picked it up from the dealer about 2 months ago. Has about 1K miles on it.

I haven't' really done much to it other than a few things to make it more liveable:
  • Vance and Hines 3" Slashtip's
  • Screamin' Eagle Heavy Breather
  • NightRider FL-ViED-10
  • National Cycle Flyshield
  • Kuryakyn Skeletal Mirrors
  • LaRosa Swingarm bag with fuel bottle
  • HD Fork Bag

Been commuting daily on it for the last few weeks when it's not raining. Makes the commute a lot more bearable.

Not really sure where I want to go with this bike yet...

nice bike. no need to go crazy with the mods unless you want to. sometimes it better to own it an ride it a while to really figure out what you like an don't like. I had one of those fly screens on my 94 an it was just enough to knock the blunt force off my chest on the highway an relieved a little fatigue. The other thing that really helped fatigue was some mini footboards which are just wider pegs.

I'm actually surprised at how much of a difference that little screen made - took just about all the wind off my chest but I still get full wind to the face, which is exactly what I wanted. No buffeting at all.

Question...does the mini windshield deflect that much wind?
