Tank console came in today!!
Flush mount axle due in Thursday!
Off Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. Perfect timing!!
Tank console will go on first since it's already here and I feel comfortable doing this mod.
Axle hopefully I can do Thursday but have no idea what I'm doing or what all is involved.

Lift front wheel off the ground. Remove the axle. Roll the wheel out of the way. Install threaded side of new axle. Roll wheel back in place. Put new axle in. Put bike down. Drink beer.

Great bikes out there, I just bought a 14 vivid black breakout. Getting some great ideas for upgrades. Wanna leave the stock pipes but not happy with the sound. Considering removing baffles and doing the big city thunder baffles. To remove stock baffles, do u just have to drill out the rivets on the rear of the exhaust?

So after having gotten my permit last December, looking at pics/videos of the Breakout daily over the last year, and dropping in several times at the dealer to admire and sit on that gorgeous work of art over the last few months (the Breakout is the reason I decided to get my permit in the first place!), I have FINALLY built up the courage and freed up the agenda to book one for a full day of test riding this coming Saturday.
Not having ridden at all anymore since December, never having ridden an HD, and only having experienced the 600cc Kawasaki from the riding school is resulting in a fair bit of nervosity, although I am equally as excited. A friend is tagging along with his Street Bob for the first few hours, which will likely make me feel more at ease...
Any tips for me as this will be my first HD experience?
Also, I am thinking/hoping that this day will only increase my love for this bike, and I will be wanting to go for one. Anyone know when the new models/colors will be made public and will be posted on the HD website?
Thanks!!!

Also, check out this article when you get a chance. It's geared more towards the sportbike crowd but the concept still applies. http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/fl...nick_ienatsch/
Good luck and congrats!

Has anyone found an analog oil temp gauge that fits the Breakout tank? The HD gauge/dipstick doesn't fit the BO tank, even though it's listed as fitting softails.

Its been posted earlier that the Dunlop Elite 3 250/40 VR-18 Rear tire will fit the Breakout without modifications.
Does anyone know if the Dunlop Elite 3 120/70 VR-21 tire will fit the front rim/fender without mods?
Thanx

I rode a Victory Ness edition which had a narrow front tire and the 240 rear, and it took notably more effort to turn than the stock Breakout. Naturally, there are probably other differences in the bike geometries, etc, but man, it was notably harder to turn.
