Please entertain us with several pics of your rig.

Yeah, definitely post pics here when you get it rolling Alain. Your bike is bad *** and will be at least a small amount Breakout.

I do agree with them that the console on the Breakout is pretty shitty. Mine doesnt conform with the tank at all and is coming up in the front. Other than that I cant go anywhere on my Breakout without getting a compliment. I've never heard anybody say damn thats a nice Raider lol!!! Hell I dont think I've ever even seen one out riding around

A guy in my chapter has a Raider. They are nice bikes as well. We have raced a few times from a 20mph roll up to 100mph and we are dead even. He weighs 100lbs more than me and has no filter or exhaust. Be careful, with a light enough rider them Raiders just might get a close to stock Breakout in a drag race.

Thanks boys ! I got my front wheel spacers from eBay installed and two of them (out of the 10 that came with the set) worked perfectly ! I'm still waiting on the damn axle from HHI BUT because of the bushing I built I can use the breakout axle for now (hopefully it won't fail on me) lol.

Just bled the rear brakes and gonna enlist the help of my buddy to bleed the front brake. I could be ridding by this weekend !!!!!

Ordered the clip ons yesterday ! Stay tuned.
I'll definitely put up pics !!

Harley vs Anything Else = Camaro vs Corolla.


Sure, the Corolla is reliable, but it's still a freakin' Corolla.....


...and I have no idea what those dudes are talking about with the console fitment. Mine was fine right up until I swapped it out.... a coupla' days after I rode it home, lol.


Does anyone have ANY problem with the finish on their frame/tins? Mine's fine...haven't found a single glitch.


Speed? I don't follow NHRA drag bike stuff, but don't Harley's & Buells dominate? I didn't get a Harley because they're quick or canyon carvers, but it sure seems like there is way more support for Harely owners who wanna get down the road a little quicker then there is for any other make.


I also get thumbs up/compliments when I'm out on the bike. The other day some broad driving Range Rover was trying to get a few pics - almost hit me, she was getting so close

Agree on the attention this bike gets. I don't have a long history of motorcycle ownership, but I've owned 3, including 1 other Harley. Nearly every time I''m out on the Breakout, I get stopped, thumbs up, or just window down / yelling / complimented.

It definitely gets a ton of attention. Now that I got the bars installed, it rides as nice as it looks!

When you ride the brand that other brands use as a benchmark for comparison, you've got to expect a bit of nonsense. "Mimicry is the sincerest form of flattery".
