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.
I was corrected on the diameter of the fork tubes on the Breakout. They are actually 49 mm but there are some listed on eBay to fit it.

Recently completed a Ricor suspension upgrade on my ride. The 2014 FXSB is certainly 49 mm. That I can confirm.

If you are having this problem still, have the auto compression setting checked. Found mine was disabled (off) had the same symptoms. Service at dealer didn't even know it had it

Some SE maps downloaded via SEPST have ACR disabled and dealers often don't pay attention to this setting. Probably these maps are used both for 96" and 103" engines and since 96" doesn't have ACR that's the reason why it's disabled. On 103" ACR enabled is even more important if you have a stage I,II etc. since it helps starting the bike up. What ChromeSpark correctly said might be the problem or at least part of it.

Will it fit an ABS equipped bike, too? The brake line routing on ABS bikes goes along the frame tubes....
