Default A few new things on my Breakout

Just ordered a few of the willie g skull collection pieces for the bike ... Grips , pegs , shifter and brake pedal .. I like the look of this collection ,,, I have been up and down on what to go with since I picked the bike up in May.... I also had them order the front nut covers , but with the different style rear end , there is no option for covers on this... Its not a regular nut .. Its more of an internal hexagon style ? I will post some pics when it all comes in and I get it on the bike...

Congrats on making a decision!! LOL I am so torn on mine its driving my wife crazy...dunno if I want to try and find a chrome handlebar and go that route or black it all out and replace any shiny pieces. Harley doing a smattering of both just sucks!! LOL I dont see any chrome bars that are identical to the one we already have and I LOVE the bar already on the bike so that has really been stopping me from going shiny....but we will see.

Make sure to post pics of yours man!! It sounds like you got the bug now, cuz I read in another thread you got your exhaust too??

Tough call!

I think I am going more chrome than black, but there is really no wrong choice!

I too am thinking about going chrome bars. Been bouncing back and forth on different bar styles.

I think something like Carlini Evil Knuckle bars would keep the style but add a little more pullback/chrome.

yes you are correct , I do have the exhaust as well ... I only went with the Vance and Hines Twin slash 3 inch slip on mufflers for now as I was not sure what I want in a complete system yet ... I also have the power vision PV2 and fuel moto air cleaner ... The bike goes into the dealer on monday for its 1600 km first service and when that is complete , I will be installing everything next week ... I will post the pictures when I have it all done ... Man I really love this bike ...

Ride safe

It's the bike itself. I have a black one EVERYWHERE I go I get stopped and asked questions. Gas stations, places to eat, bars, etc. I ride with a few guys from work (bunch of different harley's) alot and the other day we rode about 300 miles and stopped for lunch. When we came out there was 2 guys just standing next my bike looking and scratching their head. Next we pull in a gas station (Non ethanol) a older guy on a street glide came up and starting asking questions. First question is always "is that a custom bike". The breakout is no doubt a head turner.

Hey Man, I feel your pain.

I keep reading all the Breakout threads and I see you in them saying this all over the place ! You are as obsessed as me !

Hope you find a way to do it. I am trying to do the same, but I am learning it is very hard to justify a second bike in the garage.

Where there's a will there's a way !
