Default Push-pull throttle cable strain reliefs loose

Guys, I just purchased a 2015 BO and noticed both right angle strain reliefs attached at the handlebar throttle control housing are loose. They’re not coming out nor seem to effect the throttle control function but they both are loose. Does anyone else notice this with their BO throttle cables?

Cruisn the easiest way for me to pick a CVO is the Graphite engine the black looks great with the polished fins, I was thinking to have my fins Diamond Cut but I don't think it looks good on the Graphite if mine were blake I would have done it

Well looks really nice either way. I'm not a huge fan of CVOs anyhow. Takes awar from being able to customizing it the way you want.

Ram mount. Anyone have one on their Breakout? I feel without a windshield, it would be too risky to use on a breakout.

Thanks, a CVO wasn't in my budget when i purchased the bike. Now a few years and piles of chrome later I fear the CVO arguably may have been a decent choice. I am learning lots about the bike by adding things myself. This oil tank project will be interesting, i read that i can't just unhook and remove the battery otherwise the siren will go off. Cant wait to screw that one up.

There are a lot of sweet *** custom Breakouts on the forum which all gave me inspiration to customize my bike

swing arm, oil tank and lower front shock towers are all on my hit list.

last week i swapped the front rotor for chrome rotor, i have the rear chrome one but will wait till the tire gets replaced. I have a new Pirelli but the Dunlop isn't ready yet.

Windshield:

I went with this style from HD, seems to work great. Steering doesn't get loose or anything at high speeds...unless following a semi. I've safely had it to 85 or so. Seems to be just fine. Its easily removable. I love the protection from large beetles and rain.
