If you like it that's fine, but my point is that Dakota Digital could easily make a speedo for the Breakout that looks as good as the 4" version, but they've chosen instead to continue to sell what I consider to be a clunky-looking version for the Breakout. Like I said, you may like it fine, but IMNSHO, compared to their 4" versions it's a cluttered mess. That it displays the same information isn't the problem - it's how that information is displayed. I was ready to buy a DD speedo for mine after your original posting until I actually looked closely at it. Then I bought the Harley digital because it conveys it's information in a much better interface.

This makes no sense? The layout is virtually the same on the 2 DD versions you posted above?
It is not cluttered at all, and very simple to read.
To each their own I guess.

The risers are from a CVO Breakout, and yes I had them powder coated.
The Dakota Digital part # is MCL-3212-K-R.
Thanks man, super appreciate it!
Any chance you know how much of a drop your at. Considering doing the 2in cheapo drop until I can afford the full system when it goes down for the winter.

In the picture the bike is at the bumpstops. 2 inch will be about and inch higher than that, but it is going to ride like ****.

Even with progressive 422's lowered 1.5", it still rides kinda like ****. just not as bad of **** as lowering stock HD shocks.

I wish Ohlins would get back in the game with softail shocks.. and some adjustable rebound as well as preload.

Dog, Got a chance to take her out and run the wheels off today.

Hit the front brake and noticed the dive you were talking about. I never really noticed how bad it did that until you mentioned it.

Needless to say, when I do my front end chroming, she'll get the "Dog" treatment also.

yeh no kidding right??? there goes your ground clearance, right out the window. you do the suspension upgrade and forget about shopping for the longer fork tubes. legit.

i just replied to your build thread- glad you got to take her out. you built a wild bike there sir!

You should ride a bike with Shotgun Shock. I'm not going to sit here and cheer lead, but you might be surprised.

I got to test my first Harley today, a 2015 Dyna Fat Bob.. Loved it!

Anyone with a breakout tried both bikes how different do they feel?

Default Help request:

Hi All,

After 4 failed attempts to contact someone at Ricor, would someone in their TZ mind calling them and asking what a pair of intimidators and WP springs for my BO would cost with the cheapest possible postage to Thailand please?

TIA!
