Default Breakout trees

That is my crimson red bike Mike posted a pic of on the previous page, and I will give you a little insight on this project. The Breakout and Rocker share the same frame and that is about it. As I learned the hard way. The Breakout trees will hit the tank on your Rocker causing a dent and a scratch as the Harley shop did to mine. With that being said you have 3 options, 1-you can make or buy a stop to put in the neck to keep it from touching and you neck lock won't work. 2-you can purchase a set of HHI tees and wide glide axle kit(which is what I should have done!!!) this kit uses you same fork tubes. 3- do like me and change everything!!!! I had to put a Breakout Heartland kit, new gas tank, risers and handlebars. Just waiting on my paint to get done to reassemble. That pic of my bike was before I found this issue. The mechanic never saw it!!!! So good luck I hope this bit of info is helpful

Hub on Breakout wheel too wide to fit in.
