Does the tire and front suspension upgrade apply to the 18+ as well?

To anybody that has done the Blackline dash conversion on their Breakout:

Did you put a new Fuel Pump Gasket on or did you use the old one? Just wondered if the gasket was one time use like the screws of if maybe the gasket
has a chance of ripping when you removed the fuel pump door?

Also, just wondering is anybody has a Breakout Dash Panel Fuel Pump door kicking around that they would want to part with? I am not doing the Blackline Dash conversion, I am putting a new set of tins on my bike and I want to keep the original Hard Candy Custom paint set that I am taking off the bike.

Thanks..........

Does anybody know the part number for the Arlen Ness black beveled dipstick that will work for the Breakout? The fitment guide for the Arlen Ness 70-238 says it will fit all Softails except FXSB/SE. Rocker B do you remember the part number on yours?

I think that's probably it... I don't remember the part number but I do remember it saying "except FXSB" under fitment, which is partially true. It fits fine, but the stick is too long, so the add/full level markings are not correct for the Breakout (too low). Just make sure your oil level is correct before installing the Ness dip stick, and make note of where it lines up on it.

Ok Breakout Bros, need some feedback. I emailed Rivera Primo a couple weeks ago with no response, so I'd figured I'd solicit yal for inputs. Has anyone had experience with the Rivera Primo Brute IV Extreme 3 inch open belt drive? Their website says "The drive works effortlessly with all the stock components found on late model Harleys® including the Cruise Drive® 6 speed, but eliminates the problems of the stock chain drive such as the tensioner and the chain stretch. The Brute IV Extreme 2007™ fits all 2006 Dyna models and all 2007 later Softail® & Dyna® models." Soooo I take it that it will work for a 2016 SB. Any inputs or experience? Thanks.

LMK if you have any questions. More parts coming. Love this bike. Can't wait to get out once winter clears up here.

Stay classy...

Top plate gasket on Blackline conversion IS reuseable. Shouldn't crack or tear. Easier than prom night..

Got my Bikecraft License plate bracket. Ordered it March 3rd, got here March 14th on my birthday ( it was one of my presents to myself). This one is the plain one with just the light over the plate. So I'll be yanking the fender off this week.
