Looks good brother! The Air Cleaner looks great. Hey I just picked up some black hole cut levers on ebay and they fit great, look sick and the satin black is just right matches with the HD lever control body, super easy to swap them out. They were also pretty cheap. Here's the link. you must get this specific Custom Chrome part number 647999 for non-ABS Breakouts. I do not know if a different one is required for Breakouts with ABS.
or it won't fit. http://www.ebay.com/itm/191216871400
Waiting to see that 23" wheel and inverted forks. sick!!
What's going on buddy!? I dig those levers and I can't believe you picked them up for so cheap! Good find. I have ABS so I wonder if they're a direct bolt-on? I'll try to contact the seller to see what they say. Thanks for helping me spend more money!!
Ok random question, but I could have sworn that before I could start the bike with the clutch pulled even if out of neutral, that's the norm right? Or am I just losing my mind and/or getting too old?

I haven't had to try it yet, but I believe that is true. I think it is that way because if a rider accidentally stalls the bike while letting out the clutch, he or she doesn't need the extra stress, in traffic, of locating neutral again before trying to restart the bike.

Yep thats normal, I now have to start in Neutral 90% of time and it's because I changed shift rod and arm which isn't exactly set right but they look good so who cares unless it dies at a light. Did you change rod or arm??

Agree, however I changed my shift rod and lever and now need to start in neutral 90% of time due to it not being exactly adjusted correct. Did you change rod or lever??
I park my bike and leave it in gear so i only start it in gear with clutch in. If you cant start the bike in gear something is up
