When bike shopping, I only make a few decisions: Do I like the tins? Do I like the color? Do I like the wheels/tires? Am I going to go for more black or chrome? That is all that matters. I mean, we all change everything else out anyways! Am I right? Bars, seat, pipes, grips, pegs, etc... The stock versions all suck. So buy the bike that fits the style you want to build, then throw $5K at it in accessories. Problem solved! I don't know why we keep having the "Which bike is better" debates. Just my opinion.

Ok, so you do have some criteria when buying a bike............ Well, that's what we are talking about.........

What ride do you think best suits your needs, wants and options to mod.

Again, I'm no expert on the bike, obviously. I was just interested in it and a buddy was trying to talk me out of it.
The Rocker tank is different than the Breakout tank. You can tell just by looking at them. Most of the regular softail exhausts fit as well.

Any two up riders? How does the Breakout ride two up ?

Also anyone consider a longer head pipe on the front cylinder ?
