Troll/ trolling. Lookin for fish to bite their bait.
Bait used is or can be any derivative in nature that will or can spark interest of some sort. Basis lly something that will get a response of some sorr. But usually aimed at creating a negative in environment. Trolling for someone to bite their bait.
Dont feed the troll

Kind of irritating actually.

*update* brought it to harley and they said the piece was 'decorative' and not essential. so I'm keeping it off. it goes over a large nut on the fork under the handlebars.

Default Jim G’s Breakout goes Canadian and gets a slimmer butt!

I am moving my family from Texas to Canada, and taking my Breakout with me. Canadian Federal safety regulations do not allow the outboard-only rear lights that the U.S. Breakouts come with, so I had to have my local Texas dealer order the Canadian rear lighting components to make the U.S. to Canadian conversion, using the shop’s best mechanic.

Here’s the U..S. lighting:

And here is the Canadian lighting:

Notice how much slimmer the bike now looks.


Now, here is a photo of the Canadian rear end with the U.S. outboard lamps and lenses replaced with the Custom Dynamics LED kit, with the lights on, inside my (for sale) toyhauler / RV trailer:

Notice how much brighter the Custom Dynamics LED lights are than the factory HD Canadian center mounted LED light. No comparison in brightness. Remember that when buying LED lighting.

Gee-whiz, I wonder if there's a way to cram more lights and reflectors onto the back of a bike......

Don't say that bro ! Some DMV civil servant up here will read that and take it as a challenge.

Hey, it's only ONE more light than the U.S. version, and NO more lights than most of the other HD models, which all have a taillight, 2 signal lamps, and a reflector - just like this one. What's your beef?

I do realize that one of the photos almost makes it look like the taillight is 2 pieces, but you can see in the other photo, taken at a slightly different angle, that it is only ONE light that has been added.

And, the setup gets rid of that boneheaded and "flexiflyer" non-rigid side mounted license plate that I was always running into when doing stuff around the bike.

I really consider this a major improvement.
