Talking New HD Member + Breakout Owner !!

Hi Guys

Thought I'd introduce myself into the HD forum world .... From Perth, Australia and I picked up my new Breakout about 4 weeks ago.

Got big plans for this bike and so after 3 days (100 miles) of owning it I took it off the road to start the custom build process.

Check out my album for some early pics and within the next 2 weeks she'll be on the road finished.

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/membe...-breakout.html

Mods undertaken are quite extensive .....

Cheers

Yikes! You weren't kidding about the 'extensive' mods! Looking forward to the finished product - since the bike is now in pieces . And interested in what the Aussie gals think of the breakout. Over here, only the guys look at it

Went down to the workshop to drop off the front LED turn signals ....



Front end is just about done .... waiting on the rear fender to come back from the custom metal worker (extended it another 4") and then we'll finish up with painting that and the tank.

Suspension went in and lowered it 1.5".

What did the powder coat on the front end set you back and did you repowdercoat the lower forks again? Also, what's involved in removing the trees?
