Default My breakout!

I purchased a 2013 vivid black breakout about 3 weeks ago. I have only ridden sports bikes my entire life so I was a little concerned that I was not going to like a cruiser too much. Boy was I wrong!! I should have made the transition sooner. Although I think I got the best looking harley out there and it just became available. Of course that is my biased opinion. I immediately ordered exhaust and intake when I purchased it and have slowly installed various aftermarket parts there after. I have installed the following:

-Edge cut small brake pedal
-Edge cut shifter peg
-Diamond black footpegs
-Edge cut levers
-Diamond black hand grips
-Tribal mirrors
-Screamin eagle heavy breather
-Screamin eagle teardrop breather cover
-Vance & Hines big radius 2 into 2 black pipes
-H-D combo digital speedometer/analog tachometer
-Smoked turn signal lens kit

I think I am done for the mean time. I am really enjoying this bike. I will post a few pics. Excuse the Iphone quality.

Very nice! Add some Wood 777 or 555 cams and you won't regret it!

Very nice! I'm a chrome ***** but it's looking sweet!
If I didn't have a Bagger there is no doubt I'd have that exhaust. (in chrome)

Does the gear read out tell you all gears or just R and 6?

Welcome to the family and welcome to HD Forums. Look forward to seeing you around.

Congrats on the new bike! That's what I'd do if I had that vivid black Breakout: turn her into a Black Betty!
