Hunter: You say you had them re-design it, so it cost more- I see that they have the 2-seater listed on their site as the "Weekday 2-up XL". So is yours different than what they are selling- and exactly how (I like the way it looks on your bike).

How does your passenger like it? Have you ridden anything longer than 50 miles with a passenger and gotten feedback?

I'm also wondering if Danny Gray is making a separate rear seat as I'd love to be able to take the rear seat off completely.

Got some powder-coating done by the guys at Powder Pro. The customer service was simply excellent and Joe couldn't do enough to help me out getting this job done quickly while I am in the US.




Now off to LA to collect my new front fender from Bithcin Seats and then Miami to pick up 12 boxes of other bits and pieces. Travel to the US is an expensive trip!
THANK YOU!!!! Sounds and looks like a fun shopping trip.

Got to get it through customs back home yet.... always the challenge.

Got two weeks to get all the mods done before I head overseas again!

Did I mention I have a new SS coming? And I ordered the 250 Dunlop?

Great information here. Skimmed through several times. Now to go back through every post.

I've read it a few places now but in case anyone hasn't seen or heard of it yet there have been some problems with our front brake master cylinders. I completely lost use of my front brake at around 2800-3000 miles and had fluid leaking around my brake lever. Harley replaced the entire thing with no questions asked and under warranty and had the parts in stock so must be a semi-common issue.

Just a few days ago, I posted a thread beginning with the word "Alert" on this front brake master cylinder problem, and a few others have posted on it that they too have had this problem on their Breakouts.

No call to apologize! The more publicity a BRAKE problem gets, the better, until it is solved.
