congrats, beautiful bike friend. I only like black, I dont buy any other color, so I REALLY love your bike.

I was deciding between a 2013 black breakout, a flat black fatboy lo, and a black softail slim.

I went with the slim - not that it is better or worse than the other two, but I realized that these three bikes are different styles, and it came down to which 'style' really matched my personal style.

It was a tough TOUGH decision, I really wanted all three to be honest LOL, but like most of us I am not a millionaire.

I went with the slim because I really loved the retro look. White walls, etc etc. But I still thank about the fat rear tire of the breakout, ugh it was beautiful. I think I'll rent one this weekend!

Thanks, I like the flat black Fatboy and the Slim too, it was the fat rear end that appealed to me the most!

Polished up one of the PM calipers I have on the Storz front end!

So how does that fat rear tire handle performance wise? I heard it's very stable in a straight line (like a drag bike should) but turns take some getting used to. What does turning feel like vs a normal size tire

It handles very well, much better than I had expected!
The biggest bug is the front brake, far too spongy. Does anybody have a cure for that?
I would be really interested to know what you guys would think of me putting the USD Storz forks on?
