I made some 1.75" risers from aluminum. You can build your own using 1.75" stock.... a little elbow grease... and the payoff... a more comfortable riding position....
Hi, I'm fairly new to the HDForums and I own a 2013 Breakout in the UK.
I'm about to install CVO handle bars, Freedom Performance Exhaust and the quick release pillion set up.
I was following the HD manual in where you need to purge the fuel lines of high fuel pressure by disconnecting the pump, unfortunately this didn't work as the bike sense the connector was off the fuel tank and won't allow me to start the bike. Do I simply just disconnect the line anyway or is there an alternative method to depressurise the fuel line.
Also I read somewhere that before you disconnect the main 40 amp (then battery), you are suppose to have the ignition turned on with the key fob (Immobiliser / Alarm) nearby, is this true?

Welcome aboard. Maybe I'm missing something...you are installing exhaust, bars and a pillion seat? Why do you need to depressurize and isolate the fuel system?
As for the battery disconnect. I have disconnected mine a number of times with the ignition in the 'OFF' position. I did have the key fob with me because I installed the smart siren II and the alarm is loud as hell. When you disconnect the battery, the alarm system thinks it's being tampered with if the key fob isn't near.
With installing the CVO bars, I have to replace with the longer throttle cables in which I believe you need to remove the fuel tank to access the other end of the cables, also it gives you the chance to more out the electrical cables as well.

You do not need to remove the tank, or the fuel line, nor the fuel crossover to install handlebars. You can remove the mounting bolts, and slide the tank back enough to get access.

Good to know that there is a short cut.
And my bad, I didn't realise that the CVO bars required longer cables and extensions...figured there was a couple inches of difference but not that much.
Good luck with install Dean...hope everything goes well. Post up some pics too

Thanks for the advice 24v, that will save me a lot of hassle not having to drain fuel etc.
Jimstang, will post photos when done and yes the new cables are only couple of inches longer as the original will go very tight on full lock.
