Is the handling any different? Also is there enough clearance for the fender?

Handles great! Quicker turn in.

Just looking through the Screamin Eagle Accessories for a 2014 Breakout and I noticed they have no listing for cams for the Breakout.
I was interested in installing a SE 204 set of cams in my bike to bet some bottom end torque and a loppy sound. Any of you guys done this
and are you happy with the results? Thanks.......

Both are bolt in, and also have a similar lope to the SE204.

If you really want more low end torque, then the 30/70 trans sprocket/rear pulley swap is by far the "best bang for your buck" mod you can do. You can get a 13% torque increase for less $$ then a cam swap, and the improvement is going to be far more noticeable. Link... https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...p-to-13-a.html
BUT....doing both is even better!!

With OEM cams I had crazy low end grunt and a 6th gear that was useless, (2014 FXSB). Now I still have ample low end and 6th pulls just like 5th. For a cruiser, this is just what you want IMHO. "Great lope at idle". If you're looking for drop in cams to improve low end grunt, I hear the 255's are good. Why do you want this in a BO though ? Enhanced low end in an Ultra I can see but a BO ? I like cruising with the pack in 4th or so and then hit it above 2800 RPM in 4th through 6th and just eff right off. The "low end" guys seem to like that chug-a-lug they can produce by lugging their engines. They can have it.

need to have the fastest Harley around. Also, love the sound of the idle lope in the SE 204's.
