I installed mine so I could lift my tank. What you got in mind?

Great tuner, real time data is nice too. Stores the stock tune when you marry the ecm to it. I like mine

Good choice.


Make SURE it's new and has NOT been married to some other bike already...

Thanks for the note- yeh was debating between this and the Thundermax. Couldn't pass this up at the price, and if for some reason later I need wide-band data I can pick up the advanced auto tune kit, weld in the new O2 bungs. I'm also probably going to change my pipe to the VH big radius 2-1 or the VH short shot 2-1-2, or maybe the Akropovic Open-Line 2-1 (just cause it looks seriously wicked!)

Indeed! Seller is a HD dealership, plus it's advertised as brand new in box. If the unit is anything less than that, I get my $$ back.

So I just took the bike out and ran some errands around town- Freaking LOVING the new fork springs, dampers and tires, and the EBC HH+ front brake pads. This is hands down the most enjoyable the Breakout has been since I bought it.

Sorry just wanted to gush a little bit... I'm done now. ;p

Not a good pic but you can see the exhaust. Doesn't take long before you start buying stuff for the bikes. I've put less than 500 miles on it and bought some Vance & Hines Big Radius pipes. Was going to wait until the weekend to put them on but I opened the box and couldn't help but to put them on. I was surprised on how much of a difference they make. I knew the sound was different but seems like it's got a little more on the bottom end now.
I ordered 1.5" riser extensions and new grips. Going to get black mirrors, clutch and brake levers soon.

If this is your first Harley than you are on for a shock when it comes to buying things for your ride. NEVER ends !!

Nice pipes- I couldn't have waited either. Did you have the dealer throw a quick re-tune on it for the pipes?

BTW- unscrew those front foot peg feelers- you'll get way more clearance in the corners. those things scrape way too soon especially with the front fork springs being as soft as they are.
