A collection it is then. I rode a friends Road Glide for a weekend, then I rode one at the dealer and I loved them, but I'm a bit too old school and the blue and silver Road King sitting over in the corner was calling my name. The Breakout is a compromise in balance and handling, a 35 deg. rake and the primary offset so far to the left side of the bike, but who cares, it's just so badass looking.
Bad *** indeed. Love the look on people's face when the eyeball her, wishing it was theirs.
I'll end up chopping the rear fender, adding bit more custom work and slapping drag bars on it again for solo only when I get the RGS. Right at 19,000 miles on her right now. I suppose it wouldn't be fair to let her go that easy.

Why the hell not, if you're fortunate enough to be able to afford it, why not have the best of both worlds?
Any 18 BO owners out there that have changed their risers or added spacers? I attempted to add spacers this weekend, but lo and behold the spacers didn’t fit - even though was told they would.
Any insights, experiences, thoughts, etc would be greatly appreciated

if by spacers you are talking about the poly bushings, get the polyurethane bushings for the touring model. You can confirm them by just taking your stock bushings and matching them up. The dealership gave me the wrong bushings the first time also.

he's talking riser spacers you up the riser pullback and height.

What does not fit, are the bolt holes too small, are the wires not long enough?

When I remove the risers, the bolts are built into them. The spacer holes are too narrow. Bought them from RevZilla. They claimed they fit. Sent them back. Anyone go through this process with their 18 BO?
I just bought an ‘18 breakout and can’t wait to start making it “mine”. I found a set of 15” bars on RevZilla that are the direction I want to go. The only problem I have ran into is finding the cable extension kit. Everything I have found is for ‘17 and prior. Anyone have any ideas? I checked LA choppers and one other site I already forgot the name of but it was mention in the prior comments here. Thank in advance.

Magnum shielding has listings for 2018s and will do customs for any length. Also if you don't mind quick disconnect plu, namz makes them I believe for 2018 light clusters as well.

I’m wanting to find nice short straight risers to fit some Carlini Menace bars to. Can’t stand the ugly factory pull back ones the BO 2K18 comes with! Someone earlier mentioned Thunderbike and I saw some on Dark-Parts website in Germany but be prepared to pay up large. When’s a US made option going to appear? If anyone has the word please post it here!
