Default First Harley - Breakout

After many years of dreaming....I finally got my first Harley! WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?!
  • V&H Big Radius 2-into-2
  • Screaming Eagle Heavy Breather
  • Screaming Eagle Super Tuner
  • HD LED Headlight
  • Custom Dynamics Dynamic LED lights (turn, brake, added 3rd brake)
  • Enough Willie G bling to make any noob blush!

Awesome! my first Harley is a Breakout as well. Absolutely love it. Im interested in the LED headlights - make much difference? I think the V&H 2 into 2 exhaust was exactly what I was thinking for my machine too. Right after I work out how to get the reflectors off without damaging the paint...

some heat (sun or hairdryer) and some fishing line or dental floss to cut through the double sided tape. Remove remaining sticky stuff with WD40 or other goo removing things

Congrats man!! My Breakout is my first "true" Harley also. (had a few choppers in my day) Love it so far and have done a lot of the same mods as you...same pipes, LED's, went with a roland sands and vision power though. I can see I will have 30k into it before I am done!! Luckily most of the stuff I want to do isnt available as of yet!! LOLOL (wanna change the seat, rear fender)

Right. The girlfriend's hairdryer will be getting a decent workout on the reflectors as soon as I get home. I'm all for safety but they just don't look right. The LED's are interesting though. What's the main driver? Higher visibility, lower power demand and turning the indicators into running lights yeah?
