Does anyone have suggestions on websites, parts catalog's, etc. to get vintage style parts? I'm in the process of converting my 2009 crossbones to a 1936 EL style. Looking for fenders, lights, horn, tires, anything to make the bike less chrome, etc. Thanks!!
Yes. That brake/sprocket combination is one expensive option. But it really clean-up the rear.
Any idea what the "kit", conversion costs? What site would I visit to check it out? Please dear Lord, don't let it be Thunderbike, Rick's, or the like........thier stuff is awesome, but the prices just aren't merrited. IMO.
Also (another detail, but I'll ask it here), is there an easy economical way to lower the new Softail? I'm thinking it would involve "shortening" the shock vs lengthening like on the older dual shock setup?

TIA.
Unfortunately, it is Thunderbike.. I am going through the conversion of my Breakout with all Thunderbike components. All their chassis components are TUV approved (and you get TUV paperwork and numbers). Meaning, they have been tested by the German TUV and definitely worth the price. In Germany, polizei will ask those TUV cerificates if they find out you have non OEM components (forks, fenders, exhaust, lights, etc.)
They are for lengthening your shocks so that they push the swing arm out (and above). That way your bike sits lower on the back. Then you can also lower the from with Progressive fork lowering to keep the geometry.
Not sure about any other fenders but two of the Thunderbike ones are fully certified and approved (there may be more that has the approval now) for pillion passenger carrying should the need or requirement ever arise? They are very heavy and sturdy in build. This may be why they are bulkier at the mounting points perhaps? I bought and fitted one as I do carry pillion on the odd occasion my daughter wants to accompany me. I also ‘Shotgun Shocked’ the bike at the same time.
Is that a cup holder? If so what brand bag is this? Looks solid! @K9F
Installed a Drag Specialties EZ On solo seat. Not super low profile, but I like the look more than I thought I would and love how the high back anchors me to the bike when I get on the throttle, which is why I chose this seat.

It is a La Rosa bag with the fuel bottle attachment. With a 200 mile fuel range I ditched the fuel bottle and have replaced it with a stainless steel thermos for cold drinks Summer and hot in Winter, much more useful.
Does anyone have an OEM take off passenger seat/strap/screw for a 2013 Breakout? Wanting to replace mine. If there is a better place to posture request please advise-my apologies.
