I decided to make some changes to my Breakout and document them here.
It came from dealer with upgraded HD grips and HD sissy bar with backrest. I purchased bike from Killer Creek HD in Roswell, GA. Smooth transaction and would recommend them. Bike was shipped through Uship service. It's like a bidding site for shipping. Got a good price offered to me and here she is after delivery.
I decided I wanted chrome wheels. I did some research and decided on Sport Chrome from California. I contacted them and they were informative. I decided to do a package with chromed wheels, chromed pulley, and polished rotors. And they do have a discount for forum members. I thought the packing was very good and the product looked even better. But I'll let other judge the pictures.
Here she is after the wheel install and a detailing at home by me. I used Pinnacle Synergy Black Label polish and Surface coating followed by Wolfgang Fuzion wax. I think the shine produced is second to none. And best of all, you can coat it with a layer of wax if you chose. A lot of paint sealants will not let you do this as the wax will not adhere to the coating.
Would love any feedback. The only modification not seen is the addition of the HD Alarm Siren. The stock alarm only flashes lights. Like that will stop anyone. So I added the siren component. Now I have an alarm sound and flashing lights.
Thanks for the compliments. I liked the Breakout from the first time I saw one on the showroom. I rode it and was hooked. Just waited until I could get a good deal on one. I went from a Sportster to the Breakout. What a difference.
I do like the wheel, pulley and rotor. I was going to change to the chrome lower forks, but now not so sure. I think I am liking the black stock lower forks at present after seeing them with the wheels.
