Check this guy out...Someone posted a link to their ebay store and I checked it out...I like the look. It's a little more permanent than the quick release HD one...and it does sit inside the fender struts.

I want to know, why if this bike is so popular there is no aftermarket or even HD widgets for the bike. Doesn't add up for me.
I love mine anyway

The Aftermarket does not normally react to a new model, even if it is wildly initially successful, until there are enough of that model bike "out there" to warrant undertaking the high design and tooling costs needed to produce a quality product.

As for HD, they probably did not anticipate the degree of success, and so simply have not reacted themselves yet, and frankly, HD may have higher priorities than coming up with new accessories for a bike that is already selling really well without availability of those accessories!

That sounds as reasonable as I can figure

HD most likely had their minds and money on the new 750/500 that just came out. Now that its out and running lets hope that they start to produce more accessories for the Breakout.

So, look around, alot of other bike parts fit the Breakout and you can accessorize out of that. Check out everyones photos and start planning your modifications.

Thanks for the link, pretty close to what I was thinking little short but I really love the look. I just ordered it, thanks for the help.

Jim thanks for the rundown on the options. In the future I can see doing this.
