thinking about a softail for my next harley

Despite my jest(s), "note smileys ", Breakouts with a set of apes on em are an easy riding, easy maneuvering machine. You can't tell much about the seat by looking and with apes, an upright posture, and feet forward, few would have issues with long trips IMHO. The main drawback in that regard is that storage is non-existent and BO's, IMHO, don't look good with bags on em.

With the stock dragbars on the Breakout (not those on the CVO) there's no use of a backrest. And the lower back support of the seat would only be needed to prevent you from sliding onto the fender when twisting the throttle. It's about riding a bike, no relaxation lounger

Myself, I'm slowing down due to getting older and fatter....I bought a Slim S a few months back and love it....I can putt around and lug when I want to or I can get on it like a pimple faced kid on a rice rocket.....Can't go wrong with a Slim.....excellent bikes....I bought my wife the Lowrider S....it's another nice bike and growing on me but I just can't get comfortable on it......I like the electronic cruise control.....rides and cruises like a dream.....
Let me add....before buying, I looked at all of them...the Break Out....the Dyna Bob.....Heritage....Fatboy.....but there was just something about the Slim....and the Slim S they had there I got for a steal.....I think it retailed for 21 or 22k...I got it for 17.5k.....

It does clean them up without the bags. The old Hen doesn't have any interest in riding so mine is all solo including removing passenger foot pegs, etc. Yours is a nice looking motor.

Yeah....I'm trying to keep it old skool looking....I put a different intake cover on it and haven't done much since....deciding on exhaust it the hardest thing for me....I wanted the old look with the flex pipe into a single fish tail (like the old WLA's).....but the 2 into 2 options out there just keep me from clicking that buy button on ebay.....I still have that young part in me that loves those loud *** pipes....
