Default How does the sun reflects?

Hello all,
My first post here, so don’t throw with rocks I sold my Sportster and now I’m aiming at a Breakout CVO, 2014 model, however my huge dilemma is: How hard does the sun reflects from the gas tank to your eyes? Can you please share your experience on this one?
Thanks a lot!

That's an interesting question considering the paint they use but I think if it was an issue, you'd hear about it. I have not.

Anyone in here have or know of a hard bag or securable swing arm / saddle bag I could rig up to a breakout that would store a half helmet?

Anyone have any leads on rear brake levers for the Breakout? Everything I find says for all softails except FXSB! Would like to know if any of the edge cut ones from Harley will fit. I can even deal with the changed angle if they will physically fit and allow full operation of the brake.
