I can't wait thanks for the replies.

Yo guys. Been lurking around here for the past year trying to learn as much as possible since I got my 14' Breakout. I love the bike and I've put a set of Bassani Turnout pipes, screaming eagle breather and Power Vision tuner on the bike. Beyond that its pretty much stock until now.

I'm gonna pull the trigger on a set of Ape hangers and a blackline dash conversion. I got the itch to get this bike in shape before the Laconia Bike week.

That being said, as the FNG, I'm asking for a little confirmation on my parts numbers and parts needed:

Blackline dash:
71340-11 - Console
72775-11 - Trim Insert
71576-08A - Tubing (x2)
60900001 - Top Plate

Apes:
Going with Burleigh Bars Highball 14" (not sure if I should go 1 1/4" or 1 1/2")
55900026 - CVO lower riser
55900027 - CVO Upper riser
New grips (Arlen Ness)
New mirrors (TBD)
Magnum shield clutch: 322210HE (+6 66 11/16")
Magnum shield throttle: 33256 (+6 36 5/8")
Magnum shield idle: 34256 (+6 36 5/8")
Magnum shield ABS Lower: AS37003
Magnum shield ABS Upper: AS37934 (+6)

I'm unclear about what wire harness setup to get for this. I'll keep the turn signals on the bars for now.

I'm shooting for this guy's look:

Any help would be much appreciated. I've always wrenched on my own bikes but I've never worked on a Harley electrical so tips are great.
Thanks guys

So until I get a better fit, I have to keep my pillion on. I really want to run solo, love the look when the pillion is off.

Ha! yes me too- the pillion at least serves a bit of a bump stop.

Most tend to overlook the seat as the biggest area of available position adjustment. If you take off your seat you'll see just how much it is pushing you up and forward. Upholstery shops have the better gel foam that is half the thickness of the stock seat foam and same if not better level of comfort. I have never bought an aftermarket seat- it's about a quarter to third of the cost to have a shop reshape the stock seat and use your original cover, and even if you decide on nicer cover material it is still going to be half the price of the aftermarket seat.
