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???

ok thanks for the clarification,

You cannot. You might be thinking of the CVO Breakout which comes with the Harley speedo/tach combo and that unit does have that feature.

What he said - I have the CVO version and it can be programmed for 350-400 colors or something crazy light that.

Went into my shed yesterday since most of the snow has melted and I could finally open the door. Lol. I had to start my CVO Breakout up. Just hearing it run made me yearn for warmer weather. This winter has been rough.

Default Daytona 2014

Was lucky to escape New England and its endless winter this year and go to Daytona Bike Week. I had the bike shipped down and was it worth all the effort. I wanted to update this thread with my observations on owning a Breakout. Be prepared to answer a 100 questions on the bike at every stop. In my 30 plus years of riding I have never seen a bike catch so many people's attention. On Main Street it had a steady stream of photos taken of it. I knew I liked it but never thought it would be such a hit with the mob.

I love this bike. The 255 cam and pipes sound awesome and have some stomp. The riding position works for me. The Shotgun Shock works great. Love it.


Here's a shot of the bike on the beach entrance.
