Yep, that makes an obvious difference and ditching the mushy front suspension for a set of adequate fixed rate springs and Ricor Intiminators will make a big difference too.

The Rocker, stock, has quite a bit more cornering clearance than the Breakout, and that's really the limiting factor on both of these bikes. Both handle fine, up to the point where scraping hard parts unloads the tires, so I'd say that the Rocker offers more cornering potential.
If you lower your Rocker though, that advantage may go out the window.

Softails have the worst ground clearance and the worst lean angle clearance of any Harley-Davidson currently being made.
However, if you like to ride a motorcycle quickly on curvy roads, this is not the model for you. You can spend a bunch of money to turn it into a Dyna or a Sportster, but it would make more sense financially to buy a motorcycle that meets your needs.

Yep, and even though several experienced longtime BO riders state the facts they keep on bullsh**Ing and maintaining the opposite...
