So many great ideas from this thread. I picked up my new (240 miles) FXSB last Saturday. Lucky enough to run into Charlie Harley the next day and compare bikes at the dealership. Still quite a bit I want to do to the bike. If anyone has a lead on a stock fender, please let me know. Previous owner drilled three holes in the fender to mount a sissy bar. Want to throw a solo seat on the bike but could not stand to look at the holes, and I am not thrilled with any of the aftermarket rear fender options. I will get some photos posted up when I get home.
Hey brother good to see you on here and meet you last week. Your bike is coming along nice so keep at it. BTW, how's the wife liking her CVO Fat Boy?
One of the cheapest and easiest upgrades for the Breakout is the removal of the tank badge. This upgrade is particularly beneficial for certain colors. White would be one of em IMHO. It certainly works for the Amber Whiskey bike.

Yep...get some fishing line and slice those overgrown bottle caps off!
...and the simplest thing you can do to improve "ride-ability" is to unscrew and ditch those stupid, ground scraping studs that stick out of the damn pegs. I was dragging those things all over the frakkin' place. The bike is waaayyy funner to ride once those things are g-o-n-e.
