I'm sorry, I can't direct you to such a video, but I want to reiterate that $2,500 is nothing but a con game and filthy robbery. Please seek out a reasonably priced Indy. The worthless thieves that abound need to be put out of business. Don't succumb to their thievery!

Could someone please make a step by step video that are female friendly on how to replace bar and risers for a 2013 to 2017 Harley Breakout please ???
I dont know how to undo the brake and the clutch and the grip it's really frightening and intimidating - i am so tired of getting ripped off by the dealerships.
Most of the videos I've seen are for guys and it's really hard to understand what they are saying?
They quoted me $2500 to do bar replacement
I'll even pay you direct to your paypal for your time
<3 thank you <3

The first time I ever changed bars, it took me 6 hours trying to work through the process of fishing the lines through the bars while keeping everything intact. Now granted these were hard acute angle z bars, but it is a time consuming endeavor. Menace apes are much easier, but still have their potential for hiccups. Bars are among the easiest things to change once you have a plan and a knack for how you accomplish it. If the videos are overly confusing, the safest route is to have a professional install them.
If you want some tips or specific questions answered I have no problem going over them on pm. But definitely something you want a solid plan to undertake.

New to breakout
guys
just picked up my 2018 breakout having riden a street bob for 5 years, have to say I’m really happy, everyone in my Dyna circle of friends were saying I’d hate the ride but I think it’s great and a fantastic bike
only two issues I have, it seems much harder to see out of the mirrors so wondered what options I have there and also i don’t really like the sound of the bike with the stock exhaust so need to swap it out
now the dealer said I have to go full stage one as on the 2018 I can’t just swap out the exhaust and then do the tuner and air filter later, (this was fine on the bob, just got a bit of Decel pop)
any thoughts on either?

Harleys tribal mirrors or others with a wider arm will allow you to see better. Also boosting the risers up south a riser spacer may help.
As for the sound, it's been my understanding that the sound is always going to be somewhat inhibited by the cat. Some skipping may make it a bit louder, but most clips I've heard are still somewhat disappointing. Tab skipping with zombie baffles are probably the loudest out there without changing the whole pipe.

Hey Cameron,
I have a 2018 BO as well. All I did for now is flipped the mirrors. I also bought riser extensions/spacers. Haven’t installed them yet. Once I do, I’ll let you know if it helps with the mirrors.
Enjoy that bike. I’m loving mine!

Buy the bars and a cable/wire kit from LA Chopper. It’s pretty much plug and play with the exception of clipping and soldering wires. You’ll also need to bleed the brake system afterwards (if the bars you choose require the brake line replacement). The throttle cable is easy. Just take the time to understand the adjustments.

I prefer to solder and shrink wrap. Easier to hide and looks more sleek than another set of plugs.
