Thanks. Your bike is perfect. I am trying to get my bike to look just like yours.

So far, I have ordered:
- Thunderbike 260mm rear fender.
- Thunderbike seat shell.
- Thunderbike Headlight kit (torque).
- Thunderbike fork boots.
- Thunderbike chin spoiler
- Thunderbike Flat Riser kit 17mm
- Rizoma Corsa S rear lights.

- need to get the Thunderbike rear fender painted (black).
- need to get my stock tank painted black (my bike is red).
- Thunderbike seat shell needs to be upholstered (have no idea where!!)

For front fender, I am thinking 3 options:
- Get Thunderbike front fender.
- Use stock fender (painted black).
- No front fender (maybe fork brace).

…..and if you do go air ride to fit and adjust the supplied fender bump stop and stainless shims unless you want to damage the shiny new paint on your Thunderbike fender when the tyre cooks it all off. Don't ask how I know!

Blackp5ca has his Air Shock for sale in the classifieds. That's a good chance to get the Air Shock for your bike.

If you are looking for airshocks I would recommend to take a look at the SAS system, I have that one on my 2016 and is a easy install, no compressor or lines to install, just p&p .

You're off to a good start!! I had the flat risers but ended up going back to stock, at 5'10" it was a little too much of a reach for my frame.

Before I did the Thunderbike fender swaps I had removed the OEM front fender, re-drilled the 4 holes and brought the fender down closer to the tire, it looked pretty good in my opinion, closed up the gap a bit and you don't really see the original holes unless you're really looking for them...may be a way to save you a bit of $$$, looks like you've had an expensive month! Cultwerks, Ricks and Dark Parts all make fenders that suit the look you're going for if you're looking for options.

You're probably going to want to do something with the rear suspension, unfortunately the fender doesn't look right on the bike unless you pull at least an inch out of the rear height. If you change your footpegs out to some from a Fat Bob or FXDR you'll still have plenty of ground clearance. (Sorry I'm assuming you're on a 2018-2019?)

I do not think they support the new generation Softails for now but I could be wrong.

This is how it look like,

Saweet! The a.c. is built in there somehow? Really? How much? If there's not a single out for the new softies, they prolly will or working on it. Nice!

Thanks,
My bike is 2014 Breakout. Bought brand new and it still has 927 miles on it. It has been sitting in my garage. Finally get to stay home for a while and ride a little bit. I will consider lowering options for the rear.

And thanks for the suggestion for the front fender!! Will definitely try it out..
