Good Luck with your Breakout. I wish I had one.

Does anyone else think the stock headlight is way too small for this bike?

Thanks Very Much!

I finally got to ride a Brackout today, when I was getting my 15k service. Today, just like in May when I was getting my 5k, they were trying to talk me into getting one, filling out a credit app but I can't afford one.

well im under 6 ft but have thought about a bar change. As far as exhaust goes im going with a 2 into 1 from d and d exhaust. they make 2 different complete systems for the breakout. Bassani also makes a full system. Vance and hines of course are the most common.

For seat comfort on my rocker, I put on a danny gray seat WITH SADDLE GEL...It pushed me back a little and down plus it is way more comfortable than the stock seat. I do 3k trips with it with no problem at all. BUT make sure you get saddle gel...my brother got another brand seat with no saddle gel...his bum hurts and he gets nasty...lol. Best 75 bucks you ever spent.

Now if you upgrade the seat with maybe a built in backrest, have bars that don't require you to lean forward, and adjust the foot controls to suite your body more then yes it could feasible but agree without those amenities it's a tough ride. I was dead set on riding to Sturgis this past august but glad I didn't.
