Awesome! I love that see through stuff! I have the clear derby cover but now you got me thinking about getting some more.

Can you post a profile picture of the whole bike, with the tank lifted.

Apologies for the quality. Its the best I've got at the moment but it shows the lines with the new lift.

Lots more if you follow the link above. Yep, Like DK has stated, this is the way HD tanks should be mounted. Its a shame to hide the rocker covers really and as I understand it, a cooler running V-Twin can't be a bad thing.

Hi there

I'm looking for a smart waterproof USB port for my iPhone! Any ideas out there and also where to place it.
Cheers

Best place for something like that on a Breakout would be inside a swing arm bag.... make a small mount inside the bag to hold it in place. Closest thing to making it waterproof...

Or a shorty mounted up under the seat somehow... but that would be a little bothersome to get to after a while... maybe even a toolbag mounted to the bars?

I asked my stealer to install a standard 12V acc. power socket so I can use a standard USB adapter (short one, see pic) . This will be stored under the seat. from there I run a long connector cable (standard USB to micro USB) under the tank to the front where it plugs into my Samsung Galaxy. Then I only need to use a small cap for the micro usb plug if not in use.

The little windshield mounted tool bag HD sells is waterproof too. If this is the type of thing you have in mind it would be handy highway storage for the phone while being charged. Not cheap, but a nice unit and convenient.
