thanks 24v

I'm curious too.

I will post back this weekend.

Sitting on it; it feels more comfortable and it cups your *** more. So I probably
won't be sliding back every time I hit the gas.

Yeah, the stock seat sucks for holding you on the bike under hard acceleration. Especially when you run it as a solo.

Nice Ride Goldsgym !!

I see you swapped out the tank badge too . I had the original red bullzazzhole badges on my whisky tank and they looked like hell. Swapped em for Tri-glide badges. The Breakout looks far better with NO badges than it does with the ones it comes with.

Thanks HK

I'm not a fan of the stock hockey puck badges either.

I agree . That probably will be next.

I forget, did you re powder the stock wheels and sprocket?

If so, did they just strip them and coat them?

Thanks

"Done and dusted", chrome brake/clutch levers too . One of these days I've got to take some UTD pics.
