Thanks everybody.

I took the bike out last sunday for a 2 hour ride. It handles nicely but there were some parts of the road where she felt a little too bouncy. I will keep messing with the settings to see if I can get a slightly less stiff ride.

I put the same ones on my rocker and it is awesome! Lowered it 1.5 inches and closed the fender gap completely. Rides great. Hint...I put a new progressive spring kit in the front also and it made even a bigger positive diff!!!!! Only 90 bucks for the kit - dennis k..Do it. Another tip someone on here posted, the bump stop was too thick on the rocker after lowering, so the bump stop from an 07 softail fits the same mount exactly and is much thinner, giving you the room to lower it without interference. Only 7 bucks. Enjoy.

The Breakout does not use the same bumper as the Rocker. I believe the bumper on the Breakout is the same as the one he changed to on his Rocker.

I'm a little confused. Are those bump stops for a rocker or a breakout or both? If the smaller one fits the breakout where can I get one from? Thanks.

The stealer probably has the bump stops. I rememeber when I was getting my ducks in a row to do a Heartland Kit on my rocker I got the bump stop from the stealer for less than 10 bucks !

Your breakout looks nice dude !!!
