Rear axle covers
Does anybody know what rear axle covers will fit the standard Breakout. The right side is so short it doesn't give you much to grab on to. For some reason the CVO axle setup is different. I am going to get my bike back tomorrow and will post pictures right away. The chrome swingarm looks awesome!

Curious - (and you've probably posted it elsewhere on here) but did you change out your brake pedal lever? Contrast cut? Is it HD or aftermarket - if you did..
Care to post up a pic of that?

I put black engine covers on mine today. I bought the cam cover, primary, and both trans covers in wrinkle black for cheap on craigslist. Then I took them to get powdercoated gloss black. Unfortunately, they were not from a Breakout. So, the side tranny cover is different. The cover on the Breakout is about 1/4" deeper. This would push the clutch mechanism to the left side of the bike more, disengaging the clutch when I bolted the cover on. So, I left the tranny covers chrome and switched the engine covers to black. I'm going to leave them like this for now and see how I feel over time. Then, if winter ever hits here I will decide if I want to pull the stock cover and have it coated with the next round, or leave it chrome.
Here's a few pics.

Slowly, but surely, I can see you're making your way to those fender struts. That, and the shifter arm, are pretty much all that's left. Edit: maybe the oil lines too.
Also, I think someone here sprayed their rear axle bolts with plasti-dip. I would go that route too, over the covers, or plasti-dip the covers. I priced the CVO covers at $70 each if I recall.
