I also added a set of pegs and grips, tinted indicator lenses and the tacho/digi speedo. I didn't, however, go for the Daymaker (as planned) as the brochure says that the bike comes with an LED headlight for 2015. I thought I'd see what it is like first. While I was there I ordered a Victory Lane jacket and a set of Rokker kevlar jeans and a pair of Rokker books. It you haven't seen the Rokker range, it's cracking quality. I still need to think about replacement mirrors and a swing arm bag. I'll get to those over the next couple of months....
Excellent choice !!

A common complaint with the stock BO, and one I had too, is that you can't adjust the stock mirrors on those straight stock bars so you can see anything but your own arms. You likely will need to change the mirrors for something that works unless you plan on changing the bars.

Turn ignition switch ON or to ACC, go to clock, press and hold trip switch till it starts blinking. From that point its press & release or press & hold to set your time.

Ordered the CVO Handlebar, 558100188. I also ordered the Upper ABS line, 45829-11. I've done grips and levers, but never a complete handlebar swap. Any tips on installation? Are there any other random small bits I need to buy (like the annoying little clips, like washers, but open on the ends).

This thread has given me lots of ideas of modification for my Breakout. Some are done, but there are more to come. I guess at some point you get done, but maybe not.
Might try and get some pictures up later.

Yeah it's about 1.5 to 2 inches. Shotgun shock is in the plans for this winter.
