I never heard about that but will take the risk on the warranty, it just ruined the bikes look .
If you are going after the fender , remove it by unplugging the plugs to the lights, uderneath the seat. Remove the 4 fender strut bolts located near the the oil tank. Gently spread the struts over the tabs and remove it in one piece. Takes about 10 minutes

WOW HK, you answered my questions exactly as I needed them answered. All my concerns are covered now. You also just saved me $400. You are the man sir!!!!!!
Now to find them. Thanks again
P.S. I never answered your first reply about wiring. Yes I can wire anything. That wasn't the problem. You answered all the problems that were stopping me from doing it this way.

Ready for 2-up riding
I added a HD detachable sissy bar along with a Fatboy rear pillion pad. Took some minor mods to the pillion to make it fit but picked it up for $40 so it was worth the effort. The OL was much happier riding on the back and it takes seconds to switch things back to solo running configuration. Sissy bar was purchased locally from another member so I have less than $200 invested for comfy 2-up riding.
For anyone looking, the stock Fatboy pad matches the stock seat much better than the Sundowner and the OL says it's very comfortable. It came off an '11 Fatboy but I'm sure other years would also work. The slots that fit the factory mounts have to be extended and plastic trimmed so it doesn't dig into the front seat. Took me 10 minutes with several test fits before I got it right but I didn't want to risk trimming too much.

Had to move on from my Breakout rather quickly but as much as I love it, it wasn't what I needed in a bike.. at least if I could only afford one. So I move to the Touring section but will still be looking at everyone's great rides and sick mods! Cheers!
