And RockerB is the one who gave me the recommendation for Legend when I first got my BO....he was dead on accurate! Best system out there for the BO!

For those of you that have powdercoated your triple trees, how much of a pain in the *** is it to pull the front end apart?

Default 2020 FXBRS ECU location

Just ordered a 2020 Breakout 114. Anyone know how to access the ECU to add a tuner?

Same as on the previous models, with the 6pin connector under the left side panel, I have a FXBB and FXFBS both with a FP3 on.

Hi guys,

I have a 2018 and am thinking of throwing a shorter Progressive mono shock in it to bring the rear end down an inch or 2 to improve the look. Wondering if you guys with the slammed bikes scrape your exhaust much in turns? Your bikes look awesome!

Appreciated

Default Harley warranty & Fuelpak FP3

Bought a new 2020 BO. Dealer says installing Vance & Hines Fuelpak FP3 will void my warranty. Can I install the FP3, but restore the factory tune and remove it before taking her in for service? Will the technician be able to tell that it had been installed? Thanks
