Default Distance riding the breakout

I rode 700 miles this weekend. Took off quarter fairing, snapped on the windshield. Strapped a handlebar bag (Saraceni) and a gel seat pad. My next mode is elevating the risers an inch which will also bring the bars back about 1/2 inch.
Next trip will be 2000 miles next month

What did it cost for the powder coating per item and who did you use?

Default One more per request

Used in local Harley ad. I guess I had the distinction of being the oldest guy not riding a 'geezer-glide!'

Default Black Breakout Owners

Checkout Harley's Milestone helmet! A pretty good match eh? It's a nice helmet as well! The first new helmet I have bought in 15 years. I don't think the Factory made this as an intentional match...but they should!

What's the reason for "not having permission" to see pics?
Some come up in the forum and I can see them but if they are an attachment then it says that I don't have permission.

I was at dealer yesterday and checked out a Red Breakout for close to an hour. I think I will be on one in the near future but I am waiting to check out the new Indians in a few months.

Probably going to contact the dealer this week and see what kind of deal. They can offer on a Breakout with fender supports, front end, primary and rear signals blacked out.
