It is a great looking fender but I don't think it is a Thunderbike one. They only make three for the pre 18 twin cam breakouts and the seat and profile of all three look different to what is depicted. I could be wrong though? I have a Thunderbike fender and seat fitted to mine and they are what you pay through the nose for.....top quality. The one I have fitted is also TUV approved for pillion passenger weight too.

Correct, front fender, rear fender and seat are all Thunderbike. Bars are stock, headlight is stock with a factory Harley Vrod headlight cowl. I had Thunderbike risers on there previously but the reach was too uncomfortable, too much of a stretch for my 5'10" height. Stock risers powder coated gloss black went back on. Mirrors are just ebay, nothing fancy.

I only ask this jokingly but how does one pick up chicks with this rear fender?? That alone puts me off to it. Even though it looks badass.

Why would you put a chick on the back fender? Aren't they supposed to sit on your lap with their legs wrapped around you??

Anyone here own the M8 114? I really wonder how big of a difference is between a 103 and the 114.

They made no Breakouts after 2017. There is something similar with a 114 M8 but it has a short wheelbase and a tiny gas tank and it holds more oil than fuel.

Couldn't resist .

Hahaha..well played!

I have the 114 and came from a slightly beefed up 96ci with a stage 2 in my old Blackline. I will say, although it holds less fuel, the 114 is worth the $$$, add a cam and you wont stop smiling.
My brother in-law has an older Breakout, we've swapped back and forth and both came to the same conclusion, the new frame design feels much more planted, little smoother suspension, little lighter feeling. He has the usual goodies, exhaust, intake, tuner on the 103 and the 114 (granted with a cam) has a noticeable advantage...as much as anyone doesn't want to hear it...
But...at the end of the day..both amazing bikes and an absolute blast to ride!
