Currently I'm using the straps that came with the solo bag. I haven't put a lot of effort into finding a better solution, but at some point I'll probably go with a hard mount like the deadcreekcycles.

I know at least one of you guys have painted the ignition assembly (grenade mount). I've got it pulled back off again to install my new 50mm throttle body and FuelMoto PV2 and AT- Pro. I want to paint it before it goes back on but it doesn't look like the grenade comes apart from the mount. Am I missing something? I un-did the bolt at the bottom but it still feels like it's all one unit.

I use the Dead Creek mount with leatherworks bag and it works great.

jackjr you have to remove the bolt at the bottom, remove the set screw from the ignition switch **** and finally use the ignition switch spanner wrench to remove the switch nut. The wrench is HD-48904 if you plan on getting one. Not sure what others might have used to remove it.

If you dont use the Dead Creek spacers you can get it closer to the swing arm, but for me it works fine.

The replacement combination Tach with LCD digital speedometer, which I also have on my Breakout, DOES have that color change feature. There are 600 different shades theoretically, as you can dial up any color number from 001 to 600 I believe.
However, the manual for it warns you that the best visibility in bright sunlight is with the black and white scheme it come set to from its factory.

changing colors on Breakout
No, that's not correct - at least according to my Breakout owner's manual.

The available tach-speedo does, but you have to buy that and replace your stock speedo with it.
I have not checked, but I suppose it is possible that the CVO version (only) of the Breakout has that feature???
