I rode my new Breakout home last night and while at first it was a bit funky I soon loosened up and adapted to the new riding position. Only problem I see is on long rides getting a more comfortable position for my legs - my feet felt like they wanted to slide off the pegs, although it might just be I need to get used to the new feel. It's definitely different coming from a Sportster...

It just takes a bit getting used to. For me it's now VERY comfortable. I also added Lindby Multibar which provides 2 other foot positions - heel on peg, toe on multibar or foot on the rubber foot rests.
