I think we can all admit here the Breakout is the best bike Harley has ever made. I used to think the Fat Boy was good looking bike but when the Breakout came out, it dwarfed it. Out of sight, out of mind now. You just can't create a better looking muscle bike than the Breakout. The torque does leave something to be desired. But as for the looks, everything is pretty damn perfect.

OK, you dragged it out of me, "the Breakout is the best bike Harley has ever made" !!
In spite of this, the front end does need attention. Just how apparent this is really becomes quite clear once you've fixed the issues, ( weak suspension and flexing). The necessary suspension MOD is thoroughly dealt with already on HDF. To stop the flexing, "install a fork brace". You think you like your FXSB now ? Wait till you complete those MOD's !

That is definitely on the list of mods that will be done this year. It wasn't even a thought of that until I saw either yours or someone else's on here. Great forum!
I haven't noticed flexing or any suspension problems with my 2017 Breakout. This thing has seen multiple 130-135 mph quarter milers and a 150+ run without any issues. In fact it feels very stable at speed as long as it is straight.
Hey guys, looking to switch to Metzeler 888s for the breakout. Going to do the 260 in the rear, but I'm having hard time finding the correct model number for the 120/70-21 front. I keep seeing different ply/radial options. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
Looking to replace the stock headlight, I started with JW speaker led's and that was shot down.
Looked at the Amazon knock-offs but I don't like how the high beams aren't much brighter than the low-beams and then I looked at the $50-60 led conversion kits but those can have heating issues and may not fit.

Dunno if this will help but you can put a bias belted tire on the front and a radial on the rear, if those are your options.
