looking good. Got any pics of the roto plate install?
Here a a couple of pics that I took yesterday. I can get a closer shot for you later if you need it. I bought both the swing arm mount and the axle mount because I was unsure which I would want to use. Both are quality parts. I ended up using the axle mount so I could use a swing arm bag.

Default V&H Straightshots HS ONLY..?

As my AN Big Sucker appears to be lost in the post, can anyone tell me if there is a downside/problem with fitting the slip-ons alone for now (max 2 months) until a replacement air cleaner is delivered? (what does the "HS" stand for, btw?)

On a completely separate note, I just did 80Km with the new Danny Gray reduced reach seat fitted and that is my problem solved - absolutely fabulous and worth every cent.

No handle bar/cable change required. Slightly disappointed with the unbelievably crappy zinc plated washer that is supplied for the rear retaining bolt, but that's easily changed.

Just need the matching ***** pad now to stop the Mrs. moaning.

Anyone have a problem with their ign Switch. This morning i went to fire the bike and the switch is very stiff going from lock to unlock. Then the key was hard to get out of the lock. I guess ill take it in to see if i can get a new one under warranty.

I had mine go over right in my garage. I'd just rode in, shut it off and set the stand, and then the bike moved slightly and the stand kicked out. I caught it, but it's not something I wanted to repeat, so IO;m very careful to make sure it's locked nowadays. I was hoping that the No Toil upgrade would work on the Breakout, but they only mention FL's.

I QA riding with a mate yesterday and he said he knew of a few cases of them falling over.

So, is there a longer and mor forward leaning stand than can replace the stock one?

I love your bike and shop. Where did you get those tail lights? what did you use to paint the bolts on your fender struts?

Thanks. The tail light lenses are from Hawglenses.com. The tail light housings are powder coated stock housings. As far as the bolts go, I just cleaned them very well and used some Krylon flat black spray paint. Once installed I just used a small paint brush to coat any paint removed from the wrench.

Default Flush-mount pop-up gas caps.

I've been told by a local indie that these can be leaky.

Any input chaps and chapesses?

TIA!

Just installed mine a week or two ago while the bike sits in the garage and will not be able to ride for a while due to weather. But judging from the fit on the install I don't see much water fitting in the tiny gap between the top of the cap and trim piece. It fits as well if not better than the stock cap.
