I have their delux kit. Didn’t know they made a 3” Doesn’t that expose too much of the top tube ?
The tank gap and the tube are exposed, yes, but the congestion around the speedo housing / riser area and close proximity of the two effectively cloaks this so you don't really see or notice either. It is part of the reason I went with the stubby CVO risers and angled bases instead of options which would simply lift the speedo housing more to provide the necessary clearance. That would have been easy but aesthetically less pleasing IMHO.
Actually, if you examine the photo above, you are staring right into the tank gap, but because the speedo housing remains low and in the way, its visually all a nothing-burger. Rider visibility of the speedo, the face of which is now somewhat below the top of the tank and dash, remains excellent.
Hate to ask. And its okay if you don’t. Ut a picture from the side where the intake is would show that difference much better.
I own a Slim and the delux kit DK came as a 2” front and 3/4” rear and with my street slammer bar it just makes it. So a 3” would force me to raise the bars and tbe cables are perfect where they are now so you know

Here are the part numbers needed to put the Blackline dash on the Breakout. 71576-08A (2 of these) 71340-11 72775-11 60900001
I JUST ordered all this from surdyke.com two weeks ago. GET THE TOP PLATE. Bolt on and done in 20 min. Cost $290 delivered for everything. Well worth it.

Or does the shape of the stock headlight not allow for that? Thanks.
I have a Headwinds housing, and although I never tried installing the stock headlight in it, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't fit....
Thanks for the positive feedback!! I'm one of those people who fears change. I had the exact same theme with my Road King, and loved it. Mainly black with tastefully placed chrome in just the right places. I really like where my build is going! I have the Headwinds Aurora housing on the way, along with a Heartland front fender, and the Blackline dash...and a black HD flush mount fuel cap. It never ends...and that's the attraction!!! I don't see how people can ride around a bone stock bike and enjoy it...?
Rocker B, I noticed you don't have the tank badge. Was that as simple as using the ol' fishing line trick and popping it off? The reflectors had some pretty strong stuff on them...wondering if the tank badge has the same stuff... Don't want to tear up the paint in the process.

I used dental floss and Goo Gone, but yes, just be sure to cut all the way thru the foam tape/backing. Don't try to pull/pry it off with any of tape still attached, or you could dent the tank. I also tried to be careful and keep the dental floss tight against the backside of the badges and off the paint when cutting thru the tape. Letting the Goo Gone soak in as you go helps a lot also.
You've got to install the CVO short risers on top of 10 degree angled bushings, so the tank will clear the speedo housing after the 3" lift, but it all works, I've done it.

Shitty angle of view. Can't really see any lift at all? Think?
