2.5 hours and a few beers later she looks the goods. I like the switch mount JD has for the Breakout too. It fits nicely on the grenade. I just need to paint the other part black.
Hell yeah! Looks great.
I fabricated my switch mount a little bit and mounted it on a rocker box bolt under the front part of my seat. It seemed a little too close to my tank mounted on the grenade but looking at yours, there's plenty of clearance.
Dunno if i should start a new post...or just go here since this is the "Everything" thread.
Just spoke to one of the service/parts guys at local HD and chatted him up about putting V&H big radius 2-2 on the Breakout once i purchase. he was straight up and said "Dont do that, unless its visual and you dont want the performance" and that The Cobra Speedster Short Sweep would be a better choice for performance due to the fact that it has "power port cross over" for better back pressure (basically making it a 2 into 1 at the power cross over, back into 2). Where the V&H is 2 straight through.
I'm not super tech savvy but i do understand the physics of back pressure and the benefits to it.
My question is...has anyone run the Cobra? any negative remarks?
and what do you have to say about 2-2 vs the cobra Crossover port 2-1-2

I'm not extremely tech savvy either but my understanding of 2-1 vs 2-2 is that yes the 2-1 or a 2-2 with a crossover will have a slight performance advantage over the pure 2-2 but will it be a huge noticeable gain all other things the same? Probably not. I personally love both the V&H 2-2 and the 2-1 but for now and the way I wanted my bike to look I chose the 2-2.
And there is always the V&H Super Radius. Which looks very similar to the Big Radius (but bulkier) and has a sneaky hidden crossover. It aims to keep the Big Radius look but sneak in the crossover. I'm going for the Short Shots on mine as, to me, a few extra HP etc won't change the way I ride the bike.

I do not believe the SUPER Radius will fit the CVO model or any of the Breakout line. At least i do not see it listed for fitment on Revzilla nor V&H site.
