That table in the background is AWESOME! Where can I get one of them?
Thanks man...it's a Ford V8 block. I wish I could take the credit for making it but I bought it mostly complete from a guy in London for a ridiculously low price. This was going to be a summer project last year. While searching for some Ford components to build it, I got lucky and found it on ebay. He was also selling an end table made from the crank and flywheel. I sent him a message with a low ball offer and said I'd come pick it up so he didn't have to worry about shipping. Bam, done deal...I drove down the following day and picked it all up. After some minor fixes, prep and paint, it was done. Also put some LEDs in for some firing action.

My 2014 Breakout gas cap did the same thing. It would just turn and after a minute or two would finally catch and loosen up. I replaced it with a Roland Sands one and it's been fine ever since
I'm in the process of building a coffee table out of an old 351w block I had lying around. Mine is on castors so it's easier to move.
BMM48, I like your idea on hard candy red and hope someone is able to draw something up, I'd like to see it myself. I noticed you removed the rear foot pegs, its hard to see in the picture but did you just leave open holes or did you come with something to plug the holes?
Dude someone keyed your ride?!? Wtf is that about??
Is Hard Candy Red offered as a stock color on the breakout? If it is than you can absolutely order just tins from them. If it's not one of the stock colors on the breakout I'm sure HD offers the ability to have your tins painted in that color.
Or just order the paint from them and have a body shop paint it. That is what I did after I chopped my rear fender in half.

Questions...
1. Anyone know if I can buy Hard Candy Red tins for the BO straight from HD? Cost isn't a priority. Just want to get this issue fixed.
2. Can one of you photo shop gurus help me with the hard candy red on my bike? I don't have a great photo apart from the ones below.
Yep, had to park in downtown for about 15 minutes to bail a mate out who had too big a night and can't speak Spanish and for my efforts I walked out to new some pin striping on the Breakout. Happened out the front of the cop station which was the funniest part.
I will email HD and see if they are able to do the tins. It's not available on the BO but it is for a few others so it's worth a try. Otherwise I will just find a painter and get it done.
With the rear pegs I have the quick release pins from DK. They are excellent and when I take the pegs off I have some small plastic plugs which fill the hole. I got it from Home Depot I think last month in the US. The gap was annoying me so had to find a solution.
