I agree. My Breakout gets a lot of attention here in England. Random people ask questions and ask to take pictures. It's pretty cool and I take the time to converse with them and hope that they may change some of thier views and stereotypes of Americans and military.

Removed the emblems and put some classic aluminum bar and shield badges on.

I have the same ones. I've always liked them. They look really good on black. I had them on my black streetglide too.

Thanks Goldsgym... I've always liked the bar and shield as well.

Paulmj, thanks. I'm stationed at Lakenheath. You?
I have a few RAF friends stationed at RAF Barnham and RAF Honington.

Seats

So I see a lot of you have put different seats on your Breakout. Anybody do anything fun with the original seat? This is what I did.

So now I can dream of riding while I'm at work.

That is one of the best things I've seen done with an old seat. I know what I'm making this weekend!
