Let me correct that for you.
If I had the $$ to buy a brand new 2013 Breakout, I would cough up the extra $1250 and throw a Shotgun Shock on the rear and slam it.

OP- great looking ride congrats!! - I hope you have the reflectors off by now

Aluminum will oxidize. Sheet metal rusts! Unprimed clear to bare metal requires extra care. 2012+ all are water-bourne paints. They suck. I've owned a detail shop for 30 yrs. and just thought I'd give the OP a tip that if it gets a chip, it better be touched up quick but yes, clear is clear I guess!

A 3M clear bra(paint protection film) might be a good idea.

BTW OP...Awesome bike! A V&H Pro pipe would show off that beautiful rear wheel.
