Finally received my Oberon levers today and got them fitted. A BIG thank you to Vinman who provided me with the correct information to ensure I got the right ones. This forum is great and even with the big divide of 'The Pond' between us help is readily forthcoming. The CVO Breakout ones were not listed on the UK website but were on your Hogleverage one. Vinman I owe you a few 'cold ones' thank you!
Glad I could help, so frustrating when you get the wrong part and have to ship it back and reorder, how do you like them?
Fit and form are excellent. As mentioned the proof will be on the next 200 mile plus journey to see if my forearms ache the next day as they did. Weather is so rubbish here today I just fired the bike up in the garage and messed about with the settings of the levers and positioning of the mirrors. Roll on better weather. Just getting the bike setup for my trip in June to Germany for the Hamburg Harley festival. Recently received my gloss black Motherwell rack that too looks like a great bit of kit! Thanks Vince!
I finally installed my Thunderbike rear fender with integrated light and blinkers and SAS airshocks.
Shes looking nice @MoneyFor, how do you like the SAS system? I can get a pretty good deal on it but havent heard of a Breakout recently that didnt have the Shotgun system.

Thanks !
I'm satisfied with the SAS system, easy to install and operate. I just made my own up/down button and bracket because I didn't like the switch that came with the kit.
I will take a picture later from the control button.
Since I do not now anyone that have the Shotgun system I can not compare but the installation of the SAS is way more easier then the Shotgun.
Ive been doing alot of reading because $1k is alot of money as you know. The SAS looks appealing cuz of the price but the Shotgun system has so much more of a following. In the picture is that the lowest it will set?
I bought a 2018 Breakout this last weekend and, of course, first thing I want is some custom bars, but have read about the "oddities" with handlebars and the 2018 model.
Anyone know the basic measurements for fitment?
"...control size, tube diameter, clamp diameter...anything that would make the mounting different from all their other bike for the last 30 plus years."

I believe Harley Lists the same 1-1/4" x 12" mini apes I put on my 17 for the 18, only without the riser clamps and gauge cup I needed. I think they are the perfect size for the Breakout. https://www.harley-davidson.com/stor...09-55800749--1

No, you can go lower if you want but in the fender kit is a rubber bumper included with different shims. This was my choice of driving height to be on the safe side because the fender has build in blinkers and light. These are about 20mm inwards and at that location is the distance between the tire even smaller but you can not see that on the picture.
The SAS could be lower as you can see with my other fender:
