Now you got me looking and yes I go straight down the road but on the straight-a-way it does look like the trees are a little to the right, Handle bars look straight but if you look down at the tank the trees look like they are to the right, investigate and let us know what you find.

Switched mine too, for a stylized bar that says Harley Davidson on it,, "too simple". I don't know what they were smoking when they decided to put that pink bullzazzhole on the orange breakout but the bike looks 100% better if you just take those damn things off and leave it at that. If you want a badge, any other badge looks better, particularly if you bought the orange bike with the pink bullzazzhole.

Yeah I'm looking into it. I went by the stealership and had them test drive it and told me "everything looks good" lol. So much for that. If i find anything out I'll be sure to post

Default LePera Seat-In the works

Just throwing this out there. LePera just e-mailed and said they are starting to make seats for the Breakout and what version would I like to see be made. Sounds like they want to see what people are interested in and they'll get working on it.

I'd take a plain Bare Bones Solo in black leather w/ Biker Gel fwiw. I'd consider the same seat with either the "Blazin" or "Widow" stitch patterns in silver or grey thread.

I would like a nice one piece seat for the driver and passenger with a low but wider passenger part that tapers off towards the rear.
