Hey Guys, sorry to hijack but have any of you fitted a 7" Fatboy headlight to a Breakout in place of the 5 1/4" light?
thanks, 2014 model.

I have not seen it yet, but shouldn't be an issue as long as you get the mounting block from the Fatboy as well.

Saw one on the net some months ago, you might find it if googling a bit!

Fitted a black Daymaker a few days ago. I could not find a earth connector on the light. The stock light had one that connected to a separate wire next to the 3 pin plug (black wire if I remember correctly). What did everyone do with that wire?

Funny that this thread popped up. I'm getting my Day Maker for my Breakout today! But installing it, shouldn't be too much different than when I put one into my Blackline, other than the stabilizer.

Remove the screw on the bottom of the headlight. Remove the trim ring, and pull out the old headlight. Unplug it, and plug the new light in. Put it back the same way it came apart.

It is actually the exact same headlight as a Blackline, so the install is identical.

Anyone considering the 5" HD Daymaker for their Breakout should look into changing the headlight bucket to a 7" one (about $80 on Ebay) and then running the Speaker Evolution 2 - 7" LED instead. It's a newer version with more light output than the Daymaker they make for Harley.
