Not much done yet. Blue, rush slipons, pegs, and removed the reflectors. Next simple mod will be finding a solution to the useless mirrors (all I can see are my shoulders).
IMO the Breakout is not that special. If your thinking of buying one, don't.
Damn, 3 weeks too late! That's what I get for not listening, but then, I'm glad I didn't because I love the Breakout! I looked at the 2012 line, and the 2013 line, and nothing hit me until I saw the breakout. The Blackline?... Looks like something my Father would ride, not me. And it leans far enough for me- I've scraped the feelers a few times, but I'm not an aggressive rider. Heck, it's been 25 years since I sold my Low Rider so I'm still getting my riding legs back! I'm having fun on it, and that's all that counts.
I was told by everyone, including VH, that they are back ordered until July 12th.
Luckily a friend loaned me a set of Rush slip ons or else I was about to do a baffle mod!!!
After 20 years in the Marine Corps, my retirement gift to myself was going to be a new Harley. When I saw the Breakout, I had to have it. Searched for a few weeks and lucked into a red one, the only color I wanted (since denim black wasn't available). Love everything about the bike, but do have the mirror issue. Have to switch them up. I've scraped the pegs a few times in turns but nothing more. Just wish that it was a little easier to figure out what accessories were available...all in time I'm sure.
Well Ooohh Raahhh. Another Marine here, bought a red one as well. I bought a Marine Corps derby cover for it, looks great.
IMO the Breakout is not that special. If your thinking of buying one, don't. Get your self a Blackline, which is for all intent and purposes the same bike, and upgrade it to be something unique and representative of you.

Yeah ok, not like the Blackline.
Fellow Jarhead here too....just passed the 7 day mark as an owner of a black one. Will probably hit up Sgt Grit for a point or derby cover here soon....
