What gives?

 

Hello, Breakout brethren and fellow riders in general.

As has happened to others, my ignition switch **** fell off. I never applied loctite to the set screw. Unfortunately I never thought to or knew it would be an issue til after the fact. Guess I took for granted that some engineer or QC would have the foresight to have addressed such a simple thing or that assembly personnel would adhere this piece after numerous ones were lost prior to mine. (To stop selling this piece standalone too?) Wish I had seen the comments and threads before and I certainly would have gotten to the loctite.

I have seen that members previously have mentioned crafting themselves versions of this piece via CNC, lathe, mill, forging, or even a 3D print and I’d like to possibly buy one. Some of the solutions that members made up look better than the original, in fact.

Alternatively, someone could hook a fellow rider up with the schematic/file. Through a couple friends I can probably get someone to CNC or print. I’m also open to other guidance.

Thanks.

 

Haha yeah, we’ve been discontinued. No reason to take us of that “marquee” though while those others are still up!

 

Hi
I have a 2017 Breakout with original tyres on it. They need replacing. Anyone have a suggestion for the best tyre options for my bike?

 

I have a 2016 with Metz ME888 on it, great tires, go with a 260 for the rear and it will improve handling. Did the same on my FLFB ( Fat Boy ) but took the Metz Cruisetec for this one, both are handling very well.

 

is it ok to put a 260 on the original 8” rim?

 

Yes, no problem at all.

 

 

Does anybody have any suggestio

Here’s my latest changes. I pulled the trigger on a thunderbike air ride springer front end. With that, I elected to change to a DNA monster fat apes. Still awaiting new brake and throttle lines. Hindsight I will never buy a front end from them again. Turn around was ridiculous and the support was nonexistent. They accurate on their website this fits a breakout or rocker, but that’s misleading at best. But I’m hoping my attitude will change down the road.
