Came across this shot of a customized BO with 23" front wheel. I'm surprised, it actually looks pretty good- at least on this bike.

I pretty much love anything that Thunderbike puts together for the Breakout. The 'Triple 8' with the 23" front wheel is probably my favorite build. Some of the best builds seem to be coming out of Europe.

Yeh I noticed that trend as well. We had a pretty good run on sick USA custom builders and parts when the fat-*** stretched choppers were all the rage (and economy was better). A lot of the custom market focus now seems to be on baggers (the new latest rage)- some nice stuff, but I'm not into baggers.

It should work. the same edge cut brake arm fits both a 07 night train and a 13/14 BO.
Where are you getting it from...cost? I thought they stock one was chrome on a night train as well. OEM but not stock?
I've been wanting to do something to get rid of the chrome as well but the edge cut stuff adds up to $300-$400 to do both sides

Just a quick note for anyone looking at the ginz sissy bar. These guys are good to work with and seem to stand behind their product.
That said the part with where the sissy bar(the actual bar) meets the bracket where it then mounts needs to be pushed back further.
The way it is currently made actually eliminates a portion of the passenger pillion for a passenger to sit own and forces them onto the front rider.
My wife is tiny, 5'6 115 lb's and she cant fit comfortable on the bike with the position of the sissy bar. It just forces her to far forward
I'm going to try and work with ginz on this. if they wont do it i'll have to fabricate somethign myself or have a machien shop do it. On the bracket tehy use there is room to move the bar back around 1.5- 2 inches which would be perfect.
If you push the location where the bar meets the brackets back its a perfect sissy bar

I found these guys: www.haulinass.com and if you look up the fender mounted bracket for Touring HD's looks like it will fit the BO just fine, and it is low (would look better with a better shaped pad on it). But it is $250 plus ship. that is nuts for a stamped piece of metal. I can almost buy an entire new seat set for that much $.
Wifee is ok with a low pad, just something to keep her from sliding off back.
