2016 cvo breakout

There's just something about having a Harley and a Ducati as an excellent pairing of bikes to own. Besides, any die-hard rider worth their salt owns at least a second bike (or at least would like to own a second bike, sometimes it's not possible for one reason or another). I mean, whatcha gonna do when one is down or in the shop for upgrades? lol

the worst part about owning multiple bikes is getting used to the different feel of each bike...my worst transition is going from bo to hypermotard...takes me 30 min to get comfortable again...its strange goin from crotch rocket race position to mx to motard to Harley...I can never give any one of them a break otherwise its real hard making transitions...also the maintance can be a bitch sometimes with 3 mx bikes,4 track bikes ducati,aprilla,and 2 r1s,a ducati hypermotard and 2 Harleys,sometimes I skip stuff with my mx bikes and it costs me most the time....its a sickness for sure but it keeps me out of trouble and not goin out partyn etc...which I should be since im single again!
I can't see how changing from a heavy cruiser to a sport bike would ever be anything other than it taking some time to get "back in the groove" of each when going back and forth. Riding position is totally different as are handling and "seat of the pants" characteristics.
Anyway, keep both wheels up no matter what you ride!

Nicely done custom- check it out at 53 seconds in, they slid the fork tubes up in the triples and used clip ons. sleek look but damn almost zero ground clearance. any bump is gonna send that lower fairing into the pavement. I would have put on the longer fork tubes from a wide glide, they fit the Breakout sliders / triples and give you another 1.5" of tube. or use a 23" wheel.
Nice work on the tins, seat and paint. Also a testament to the stock breakout wheels's strong custom design. HD did such a nice job on them and the (previous) CVO wheels.

I agree... to combat that I have tried to get all 3 of my bikes to have a similar "feel". They all have apes but the RKC's are tallest (Carlini 14" Gansta's, and both Softails have Wild One 12" Outlawz). The Softies feel essentially the same with minor differences in handling with 21" on DLX vs the 16" on the FB. The RKC is heavier but the seated position feels close to the Softies since you sit "ON" a Touring Bike vs "IN" a Softail. I don't have a sport bike but have ridden a few.
