Default Changes

I love changing the look of a bike to make it my own.
Vance and Hines 2:1 Propipe, Screamin Eagle Heavy Breather,powder coated some of the shiny parts black, Harley quarter fairing modified to fit.
Have fun changing yours. I think I enjoy the creative process almost as much as I do icing...almost!

I just traded my WG yesterday for the Blue Pearl Breakout. I had the V&H 2-1 on my WG and was wondering if you knew if it would fit the Breakout. I've heard mixed reviews. And I couldn't agree more on how quiet it is. Kinda makes me miss my WG...

I love the style of the Breakout and can't wait to start putting some money in to her to give it the sound I want and a little better riding position (i'm only 5'10 so I have to lean forward a bit to reach the bars).
Nice, my 2012 WG had the same size engine as my Breakout, so power was not an issue. I just find the Breakout to be an awesome bike. I thought it was just me who had to lean forward a bit to reach the handle bars. I'm also 5'10".

Good to know I am not the only one too haha.

The Breakout is definitely awesome, I am loving it so far. I suppose a whole different experience for me as it is my first Harley as well.

I have found a few places that sell the "reduced reach" handlebars for ~$235 and it LOOKS like no extra modification/parts are required to fit them so I am seriously considering it.

I actually prefer leaning forward (into the wind) a little bit. Hands don't get as tired on long rides, gripping against all the wind pressure.

I need to get out of this thread ASAP !

The scoot looks awesome. I saw one while getting parts the other day, I was staring it for obviously to long. I noticed a salesman approaching, I screamed and ran as fast as I could out of there.
