Thanks, can’t wait.
Trim, rocker covers, primary etc...are gloss black. I did the wheels in something called Forged Charcoal. Was considering something more custom for the trim but with my bike being Candy Chrome, I figured it might get too busy looking.

I've upgraded the front suspension as recommended. Sadly, I couldn't go for single rate springs and Ricor intimidators. Non of the parts were available in Europe and would be have to be sent from the US, when I took into account waiting for delivery, being stung by the custom and the total cost I decided to try to change just the front springs (Progressive springs from Hyperpro -came also with heavier oil). Maybe the suspension is not as great as the way LA Dog dicsovered but it was the cheapest and the fastest option (springs were delivered in 3 days job done including the service withing a week) and no more excessive nosedive. The negative thing is, this modification really brought into the light just how bad the stock rear suspension is. So the next thing on the list is the 422 shock with RAP.

please update on what you think of the 422 RAP setup. I’m thinking they might be the right solution for me too. I’m not an air ride lover.

nice job! Just don’t have the tools or the talent for that. Btw...how do they look and feel on the Breakout?

I have not got them on yet. I am in about the same state as you are, have the bike apart in pieces right now.
