Ok , sounds like a plan. Thanks everybody for the reply.

 

Sorry guys. I didn't mention it but I did replace the pulley bolts.

 

Some like em chromed:

 

Anyone have experience on here increasing the rake on the breakout? Trying to get a modern old school chopper feel. Don't want to increase it TOO much. Just a LIIIIIIITTTTLLLEEEEEE bit.

 

Have you considered a tank lift ? Its cheap and relatively easy to do. The mod would include apes, I assume, and there are various ways you can get the speedo to clear the tank, allowing for the lift.

 

I added fork extensions to my Roadstar Raider and they works great. I've been thinking about doing the same thing in my Breakout.
I did a search and found some 41mm made of T6061 X 2" for $69.99 for
Harley Softails on Amazon. I'll probably give those a try.

 

Hey guys, anyone who is interested in the fat-boy sissy bar mod for their BO...I have one for sale in the classifieds:

Keep in mind that the Breakout has 49 mm fork tubes (Wide Glide front end). I guess those standard Softail 41 mm won't fit...but as always I might be wrong

 

Ill have to look those up! Thank you

Hmmm, i have not. Is the tank lift displayed in your picture? I don't want really high apes. Just a little more pull back.

 

Men i know your going to hate me for this. And i really mean no harm. To each their own.
And this might only be me. But to me i don't think any of these things should be done to a breakout. It's not that bike. I think it should be left stock looking. And i don't mean putting nice accessories on or anything like that. I'm talking about Apes, saddle bags, longer risers, different seats, racks, highways bars and pegs, etc etc. I think it looks perfect with the stock straight bars, stock seat. etc. So i'm not questioning anyone i'm just curious is this just me? Ad more so why would you buy a Breakout if you wanted that kind of stuff on it. If you want saddle bags why not get a street glide or something like that. and i really don't mean to insult anyone. I'm in the middle of deciding which bike to buy. There was one blue breakout I saw on this forum once that I thought was done up right(plus some of yours). I can't find it now though. But he had a problem with a sprocket or something I think. He put all the CVO components one and chromed his straight bars plus a bunch of other things. To me that's what a breakout is made to be. Am I nuts? Do I have bad taste maybe? Or do you guys think that bars and saddle bags look good on these things.
