Hi,

I was riding with my friend on his breakout just the other day and one thing i noticed was how strong the headlight was, it wasnt on highbeam and was still bright as

Does anyone know if there anything special about the globe or setup in the breakout?

Thanks
Mirrmu

I am surprised you think that. Most people comment that the light is weak. Does he have the LED headlight?

Hi,

No just stock set up, he only changed pipes and added a bit of chrome bling to bike

I rode his breakout for about an hour and he also noticed how bright it was, anyhow, i think i better also check my globe/headlight to make sure it working properly

Thanks

I'm guessing yours has an issue, or the one on his Breakout is aimed higher.

Both my bike, and the demo bike I rode had the headlight beam set to high. I was illuminating road signs in the daylight!

I wanted to ask, do you guys with air shocks have ABS on your bikes?

Only the Progressive site says there's are not compatible with ABS? I wonder why?

Yes. I have the Shotgun Shock.

Most likely they're mounting something where the ABS controller goes.

Default Considering a SE-204 cam

I am researching a cam upgrade strongly considering the SE-204 after doing some research. Currently running a stock 103 with SE Heavy Breather Air Cleaner, V&H Big Radius 2-into2, PV 2 Tuner and soon Big City Thunder Monster Baffles. I am planning on this setup lasting till I do a serious engine build in a couple of seasons want to get some more punch (bang for the buck) till then. Your thoughts comments are welcomed.

Look into the Andrews 54 if you aren't touching the compression

Hi everyone, my name is Bobbie, I recently purchased my first Harley, the 2014 FXSB Breakout in candy chrome. I love it! I do have a few questions as to where to find aftermarket parts and fitment. I installed the Vance and Hines slip ons and now my bike is backfiring, I need to find a new air cleaner, so I was told, but I really don't know what will fit it, any suggestions? Also, I am 5'2" and have a hard time with the handlebars, I love the drag bars and want to stay in that area, any ideas or info is greatly appreciated. Happy New Year everyone!!!

BTW, I am a female and don't know much about mechanics..lol
