I left mine on also for basically similar reasons. If your bike is ever hit at night, and you have taken off the technically legally required reflectors, you risk having the other guy's insurance try to assess partial fault to YOU since you made your bike less visible at night.

I've put a search on this forum but nothing came up for the Crusher Maverick 2 into 2 system (#566) for Breakouts. I emailed some vendors and the manufacturer, but all i got back was; no it wont fit!
How can we make it fit, and why wont it fit?

Wow is what I will start with.
So I just bought my first Harley last week. I purchased a 2015 Harley FXSB. I like the ride and i like the look of the bike. HOWEVER coming from the sport bike world I'm use to working on my own bike. I'm trying to put apes on my bike right now. I've been reading these forums for the past few weeks and I think I got the ape hangers all figured out. Thanks 24v and others.
Now I'm trying to move the signals to the forks. It appears the Harley doesn't make a signal relocation for the breakout. I saw a thread that said someone used the relocation from a rocker however they didn't post part number. I also looked for the switch that was supposedly under the seat and couldn't find it.
Tge breakout is appearing to be a very difficult bike to find parts for. WHY is beyond me and the people at my harley dealership don't seem to know as much as I do about them either. It's starting to suck. If I stick it out with this bike I swear I'm posting everything to YouTube.

Read my previous posting here. I was looking for a specific exhaust that Crusher makes for softails, but they told me it wont fit my Breakout. I ordered one anyway, and look at the picture above.... It fits! So just because they haven't confirmed the fitment, it doesn't mean it wont fit!
Have fun!

Hey Airassault, I'm in the same shoe. I like to work on my own bike, but there are only a few things that you can change/do according to HD, vendors and different manufacturers. Try searching for Softail parts, and figure out if it would fit on your bike.

. This is where you need to keep an eye peeled here, or post questions here about various parts and accessories you plan on using on your BO. Some things may require a bit of tinkering and other stuff slides right on and most of it will come back "won't fit" if you check the sites where you sourced it.Its all part of the esoteric joy of being a BO owner. Oh, and after you buy a part from a retailer whose website warned the part wouldn't fit,, but it did,, and they solicit you for a customer review,, and you advise them their site is in error,,,,, fear not, they won't change an effing thing !!

Guys, 90% of the stuff I've put on my 2014 BO "Doesn't fit", according to manufacturers and retailers, my ride probably weighs 100 lbs more than stock owing to "doesn't fit" bolt ons . This is where you need to keep an eye peeled here, or post questions here about various parts and accessories you plan on using on your BO. Some things may require a bit of tinkering and other stuff slides right on and most of it will come back "won't fit" if you check the sites where you sourced it.
