Has anyone tried fitting the Dragula or Rush Wrath Pipe to their Breakout? I had the Dragula on my ‘13 RK with an S&S 124 and was impressed by how great it sounded (not too loud) and how it performed.
Question to anyone. Does anyone know when Memphis Shades is going to make a bullet fairing for the 2018 Breakout? The current windshields that have will make it look dorky. I have a lot of roads were you need to go 65 to 80mph and while I'm getting use to the wind without a shield, it does annoy you after a bit.

If you don't like the wind in your face, maybe you should get a ......
Tahoe.....
Couldn't resist.
You got a full face helmet? Try that.
Well guys and girls, add another new Breakout to the pack. I want to start by thanking all active members in the forum. I have been lurking, reading and researching through a lot of these pages for a whie. All the quality questions, responses and comments helped me to decide on my 2014 Amber Whiskey Breakout. I left behind a pretty stock V-Rod, so this is quite a jump for me.
Being from Ontario, Canada, I imported the bike from Pikeville Kentucky, so I feel I have a pretty good handle on the import process at this point. Still too cold to do much up here and the bike is still in the U Haul trailer I brought it back in, so I looking forward to some good weather and starting some modifications.

Just curious as to why it's quite a jump from a V-Rod? I've never ridden one so I have no idea about them

IMO, the V-Rod is a lot of fun around town and short trips. It only has 5 gears, so while it has lots of torque, 60 mph down the interstate at 4500 rpm gets a little monotonous. The smaller gas tank on my 2005 made for frequent trips to the gas station too.
I lasted 3 years on it, now I need something a little more suited to my trip to Florida this coming July. I thought 6 gears, bigger gas tank and some bags or luggage rack would do the trick and still keep the fun aspect alive.

You do plan some mods I see. What are your initial thoughts on these ?
