This was on a I'm pretty sure 2015 breakout. I'm not up with the new stuff, guessing it'd have ABS? As stated in another thread I didn't work on this one. Nothing on the BO was relocated to fit this spoiler though.
Starting from a sheet of steel these are one off, completely fabricated and shaped by hand, not a pre moulded fibreglass job. A hell of a lot of hours/days poured into making this and getting all the different shapes and curves right from scratch. For this one in full length large size, it's $1000 AUD. Looking at a our currency, that looks to be around $750 USD give or take some. You can change it up and request different grills or side gills for example

Here's an unfinished pic of that spoiler from front on to give a better look. Once again this is an unfinished pic of the previous spoiler.

Thx a lot for the info on the make and the price. Although I truly respect the amount of creativity, effort and work it takes to fab such a nice custom part I think I will pass on that one....simply not affordable for me. I'll leave this for the CVO guys who don't have to watch their $$$

Thanks eagleray that's completely understandable, I knew it wouldn't be in most people's budget. The unfortunate thing of some parts just take so much work to fabricate by hand it can make it hard to put an affordable price for everyone on it, while still paying yourself an hourly rate that makes it worth while doing.

Cheers again!

I like that spoiler and if I already hadn't had one installed I'd have seriously considered it as an option...good job!
It's not cheap but what Ink83 said is completely correct. Spent much higher prices for other parts so I'm not scared by this amount...

Is it possible to lower the rear fender and the seats without lowering the suspensions? I would like to reduce the gap between my rear fender and the rear tire as well as lower the seat to match the rear fender so it would retain the shape of the breakout.

Nope....not that I know of! A new fender and seat may do part of the job without changing the suspension....

Anything is possible I suppose, but it would take either strut or fender modifications (not to mention a custom seat).

There's no way to lower the seat. it is ALREADY as thin as a seat can reasonably be - in fact too thin because sharp bumps REALLY get you with the stock seat! And, it is basically "factory molded' onto the frame at the front of it -SUPER thin at that point.

Went back to the Big Radius on my Breakout (even though most Breakouts have them). Bought them from Duke here on the Site. The Freedom amendments looked good. And I was trying to make this Breakout look different than my last one. But I like the look and sound of the Big Radius. I am selling the Freedom Amendments. They will be in the Softail parts for sale.
