Also, if you tighten the screw too much the ignition will get hard to turn. Just loosen the screw a little and work the ignition with the key, it will loosen back up.

That's funny because I did that and it's a bitch trying to get the key out if the set screw is too tight.

Looks good. What seat is that? Danny Gray? Got more details? You have it customized in any way?

I rode through Cedar Grove Sunday - was up at Eagle Rock. Some broad driving a Range Rover almost rear ended me at one of the lights on 23. She had her phone out and was trying to get pics of me on the bike

Looks badass BreakOutNj. I'm a big fan of the blacked out fender struts. I've wanted to powdercoat mine since day one.

Working my way through unpacking 14 boxes of stuff for the Breakout. Just came across the red calipers. Bought them not knowing if I will really like them but with the contrast cut CVO (2014) wheels I bought they could look alright. Will upload pics of them on when I finally get home...

I got this email from thunder bike today.

Hello Bill,

the chin spoiler is at the moment not in stock.
I think we produce them in 1 maximal 2 weeks.

No, you can't mount the 260 with original rear fender.
It fits on the original rear rim but the fender is to small.

Best regards Nico


Mit freundlichen Grüßen / kind regards

Quick, everyone running a 260 on their Breakout, take it off. It doesn't fit!! Nico says so.

Funny, maybe they say that because they sell more fenders
