I'm sure People are going to think I'm being an a$$ but here goes. I understand the "to each their own" concept. But I really struggle with why you would buy what is supposed to be a tribute to old school drag racing bikes and put things like apes and lifted tanks on them. If anything, put some drag pipes on it and invest in engine mods to make it faster and more like a dragster. Otherwise you're trying to make a Breakout something else. So why not buy something else?

The 240mm tire and the fx components like the front end and foot pegs are really the only set aside difference from the breakout in comparison to other softails. These are all expensive parts to change out. Until the 2018 Fatboy there was not a 240mm "cruiser" styled bike. A couple changes and ANY bike becomes ANYTHING you want it to be. Longer forks and apes, and you just turned a drag bike into a quick chopper. Others have bags and a windshield for an fx styled cruiser. I personally really dig the drag style and can't stand apes. BUT, I can appreciate everyone else's idea of the right personal styling for them. Some people are even just happy with stock; and good for them too.

I didn't choose this body, but I like it and I still want to ride a Harley. Why the hell do you care what I spend my time and money on? I guess I agree with your first sentence.

The top plate : 60900001 that is the one that goes under the console, you do not need that and can fix it wit a small bracket that you made yourself.
Prices for the parts in Belgium are way higeher, for example a top plate costs $187,00
The console = $356,00
The insert = $53,00
The moulding = $36,00

This is mainly do to a shoulder injury (enlarged shoulder joint, worn away tissue blah blah on and on).
I have a rather short inseam of 30 inches, but a long torso giving me a height at just over 6 feet, so when seated on the bike, my 16 inch highball bars but my arms and shoulders at a nice relaxed position. The stock bars, likely do to the long torso I mentioned caused me to curl forward and support a my weight on the bars, and stock bars on my CVO aren't even drag bars. Add the shoulder issues and it was not much fun.
