2:1 pipe
"Nice!! Were there any issues with mounting the 2 into 1 pipe? Which model did you order?"
I used a new 2010 part for a Rocker but experimented to find the right O2 adapters:
1800-1476 18001476 779.99 Exhaust Propipe
1861-0594 18610594 21.95Drag O2 sensor 2010 FL
1861-0793 95.95 baffle quiet pro pipe
I used the quiet baffles. It is probably too quiet for many but I am a disabled Vet with pretty good hearing loss who rides in a big pack and trying to hang on to what remaining hearing I have left. Besides believe the trade off for more noise is loss of power.
I do like that it runs parallel with the ground accented by the chin spoiler but sits higher (happenstance) for additional clearance so as not to scrape the ground on a lowered bike
I think the Breakout much like the Street Glide (Harleys current biggest seller) is a "blank slate" and the easiest Softail to change and make your own reflected by the fact it was the first CVO created and made into a production model.
I like mine but also really appreciate the direction some others who have posted here are taking with theirs!

Thanks a lot I appreciate it. I was gonna ask you since you have a breakout. Does your right throttle cable rub on your tank when its turned all the way to the right? I've noticed it on mine, just seeing if this is the same issue for everyone.
I'm thinking of blackening out the fender rails as well. How much did it run you?

Custom Dynamics Rear red LED works on Breakout?
Question: Custom Dynamics told me the GEN200-R-1157 LED does NOT work as brake-run-turn on the CVO or stock Breakout rear. However even they seemed confused. So it does for sure work on yours? Bought it anyway to try on mine as replacement light. They also said a load balancer is NOT needed on the Breakout. Thanks for your help!
Great investment! They are plug and play. They pop right in just like the original lightbulb with the same turn lock. The covers are now smoked not red and orange. The front run white and provide a great deal of peripheral road lighting at night! They turn orange (as in picture) when turning. The rear run red for running lights but are three times as bright as stock when the brakes are applied. If you do not have security system there is no need for load equalizer. I am guessing if you have a CVO with security you may need one to compensate because LEDS have a lower amp draw.

The rear fender is essentially four bolts (two on each side) closest to the engine. the entire fender and attached rails then come off together. You use a small screw driver to pry tab and disconnect wiring boxes. No need to cut any wires!!!!!!! The fender on the breakout does not have an electrical box attached like other Softails. It does have inside the fender bolts which are unique. The small turn signal wire connection will pass through the hole of the fender itself but not the rail, This is what I had someone else disconnect and re-connect.
It's a fair amount of work and if you let your shop do it they will likely charge you the standard HD (Hundred dollars.) They will also be responsible for any scratches or dings and absorb a lot of fear and apprehension so depending on your skill set and anxiety factor you might want to part out.
I think the Breakout is the perfect modern day Nightrain successor! I think Red and Black (I am Georgia Bulldog fan) would look awesome. I think "Black and Blue" is always a tough look. with the frame and oil bag both black, minimizing the chrome and accentuating the black (in my opinion) makes the engine the center focus as it should be!
Post pictures and good luck!

Do you own thing! Eventually the crowd will catch up with where you are at but hopefully you will still be independently somewhere out there else!
I think the Breakout is almost a class of its own. It doesn't fit in the Softail, Dyna or Bagger niche.
even after many years of riding I am finding it has a significant "grin factor."

I was having some work done on my bike yesterday and was looking at the bikes and they have a black Breakout. Long story short, they offered $14,000 for my Blackline and my payments would go up $60 a month, which was down from $150 when we first talked.
The bad part is, it has nothing on it like what I've done on my bike...alarm system, sissy bar, LED lights, saddlebag...so I was losing more than I would gain for a trade. And I honestly don't have $60 a month for it.
So close but so far.
