Looks very nice, very well done. hell that is how the CVO shoulda come to begin with. hah.

I would like more info on your ignition switch setup- I saw you have two buttons there. Can you share specifics?

Roads that thing is phenomenal !!!!

What rotors are those?
And what headlight set up is that?

Love the passenger pegs and what you did with the oil lines.

What are those two switches under the tank? Air ride?

Those are switches for the ShotgunShock I think. I don't think the CVO uses a key, just the fob for the security system.

indeed.

On another note, i can wholeheartedly say the Progressive 422 rear shocks suck on the Breakout. Did a bit of 2-up riding over the weekend and it is bouncy as hell. Seriously, it rides no better than a set of stock HD shocks with lowering links. Granted, I do have it at 1.5" drop but expected a lot better control damping from a supposed performance shock.

So gonna have to go the SS route as there really are no other options, except Works, and at that price might as well go SS.

{rant} Seriously though, what is up with these shock mfrs- even my old TTR125 dirt bike has adjustable preload, rebound damping and compression damping- all built into the small single rear mono shock- and it works fantastic whether you are 100 lbs or 200 lbs. For what these aftermarket companies are charging for Softail shocks, you'd think they would put some actual real adjustment controls on the pair, or dedicate one for compression w/ adjust and the other for rebound w/ adjust. We're not talking new technology here.. {end rant}

Comparatively, the front Ricor dampers with RaceTech springs are still 100% absolutely amazing under everything I've thrown at it. The downside is it magnifies the poor performance of the rear.

Ah yep- CVO I forgot- but isn't there an ignition off/acc/run switch somewhere or just the handlebar run / stop switch? makes sense those are air ride switches-

i believe the rotors are lyndall...awesome setup with the blacked out option...just ordered me some for the breakout...they perform off the charts with their matched brake pads as well...very $$$$ though...used them many of times on other projects and flat track inspired builds i did in the past

If you bolt the lights right to the strut does it turn the lights outward on a angle. Any pics? Thanks!
