yes I was thinking the same thing about moving back after I saw how shadowed it was. When my sissy bar comes in and I have to remove the fender again to install it, I will move the light back further then. It should be here the first week of june.

 

Thanks 24V I will check that out after work today.

 

That looks really nice, do you have a pic of what yours looks like from the rear?

 

here ya go

 

Sent a deposit in yesterday to bitchin seat company for a full custom seat. Doing the solo seat and pillion, some exotic leather inserts and several hand tooled leather patches.

May start a seperate thread to track the process and meaning of the seat and bike

 

Gents,
I'm eagerly awaiting arrival of my new 2014 Breakout (Black). About a week left.
I really wanting to know about sissy bars. A local Fab shop has offered to make one for about $250ish power coated. Something close to what I want would be
Part Number 52300046
My question is there anything other than the one that HD lists,
Part Number 52540-09A
Fits. I've looked at Ginz and the lead time is just to much for my needs.

i just went through this, and as near as I can figure, 52540-09A is the only sissy bar that HD currently offers that will for sure fit the Breakout.

There are advantages to going the HD route on this:

- You can buy quick detach or non-quick detach "side plates" to which the sissybar bolts, in either chrome or black

- You can go fancier, as I did, and get the "adjustable" quick detach side plates, which allow you to adjust the angle of the sissy bar, for your passenger's comfort, OR to better secure a piece of HD or non-HD luggage to the sissybar by simply placing it on the passenger seat and, in the case of the genuine correct HD bag, you can simply run an elasticized band that is fastened to the bag as part of the bag, over the sissy bar, and voila, you are set to travel. No bungee cords needed.

- You can get a lock set for the HD side plates, that gives you a key and prevents anyone from detaching your side plates and bag to steal them, but still have the convenience of being able to remove the entire assembly, bag and all, and bring into the motel for the night

- When the quick detach side plates are removed (30 second job), the only clue your bike is equipped to take them are 4 nicely finished "spools" that are mounted on the 4 bolts that secure your fender braces to your fender

- You have a choice of running no backrest pad, a simple backrest pad, or a fancier backrest pad with "french stitching"

- You can add a luggage rack to the rear of the sisybar, if and when you want or need one

- By purchasing a different set of spools, you can also be "ready" to accept HD saddle bags, and they too will be quick detach

- The entire setup can be done in pieces or all at once, purchased in pieces or all at once as needed

The cost of the HD setup is reasonable when compared to actually available and decent quality alternatives.

I can't post photos, but I haven't got mine mounted to my Breakout yet, but I think it will look pretty good.

I'm did the same as Jim and really happy about the options !

 

What's the lead time on Ginz? I just ordered one

 

Ginz told me just over a month to get one to me. Mine will be here first part of June. I ordered it the last week of April. I had mine customized tho to go inside the fender struts as I did not like the look of the standard one he makes that attaches outside of the struts. This one may take longer than one that is one of his standard ones due to the fact that it was custom and had to be fabricated and then sent out for chrome. I will post pics as soon as it comes in and I get it put on. Dealing with Ginz was very easy and they were very accommodating to my wishes.
