What's up brothers- Hope the road is treating you well. Just a few updates to share on the Breakout, installed a Primo Rivera Phase 3 headlight, classic bar-shield tank badges (was rolling with no badges since the custom paint job), and carbon fiber on the dash trim and gas cap.
Thanks HVG - Yeh the carbon fiber was a bit of a last minute addition- i had some extra 3M DiNoc vinyl carbon fiber left over and wrapped the stock chrome piece to see what it would look like - actually came out nicer than i expected. I might wrap the rest of it cause I hate that cheap rubber above and below it. you can put that 3m vinyl on just about anything and it looks pretty legit.
BTW how are you liking your SE204 cams? I think cams are next on my list with a controller.
I got the headlight on sale from EasternPerformance, $212 shipped. i have not used it at night yet so can't comment on brightness- the fitment is perfect in the housing and it plugs right in. I still need to pick up the OE turn signal plug from HD so I can wire in the Rivera's L/R signal LEDs.
cool- i noticed we have the same pipes and that was one of my concerns- 2-2 pipes typically don't work as well as a 2-1 design at least as far as TQ goes. so it would be good to hear your thoughts on how much more pull you are feeling with the 204's. Did you do an ECU flash at the dealer or pick up an aftermarket controller?
I just removed my front turn signals, now my right rear turn signal doesn't flash. The dash shows the signal flashing, but the bulb doesn't blink. I also changed my grips; I'm thinking maybe I screwed something up in the switch housing since the left signal works. Any ideas?

That carbon fiber is a nice touch. Front wheels looks killer. What's up with the rear wheel? They don't make it in that size? It would complete the look nicely.

I'm using an FP3. Just rode her today and so far I am truly impressed. I'm still breaking her in so I can't really get on her but I was very impressed today. Plenty of torque. The download that V&H sent seems to be perfect thus far. I may not even do an auto tune it's running so well.
