You can see by its shape that road clearance is no issue. I've also done LA's recommended suspension mod. Do it !! You won't be sorry.
You can also slug the forks. I've extended mine by 2" but know that if you do this you'll also need to put a shoe on your jiffy stand or your BO will lean excessively when parked.

Depends on what engine guard you buy. I've got this puppy:

Curse you for taxing the memory of an old man ! I think it was Dennis Kirk. I've bought a lot of stuff there over the years. If you go to the home page of the link I posted above, they probably have a list of Dealers. The Lindby line of engine guards is fairly common I think. Hope this helps.
Hmm, now that I think of it, I may just have bought it through that link.

All this talk of new bikes is driving me nuts. H-D made a business decision. Personally I really like the direction they went with the Fat Boy and Fat Bob, the others are ok, and they fumbled with the Breakout. So to celebrate my awesome "old" Breakout, put about 230 miles on her today with a friend and rode to the top of Mt. Evans. Can't do that with a 3.5 gallon tank!
Took them up well above tree line. Bike pulled hard with its new SE 50 mm throttle body, 204 cams, and SE billet cam plate and oil pump. Stopped in Idaho Springs for lunch and a beer. Beautiful Colorado day.

here is the link to my past testing of andews cams on my 103 breakout. very useful. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...t-softail.html - it will help show why some end up disappointed with the 57, 37 and some of the other off-the-shelf choices. it's all about the "DCR" - dynamic compression ratio- that you end up with - and that is dictated by cam events. It's imperative to know what your static compression is before selecting cam, and based on that along with the cam specs, will tell you what the cam is going to give as far as operational (dynamic) compression when the motor is operating.

I figured all that was needed was removal of the battery and the rear fender. Apparently you have to remove the rear wheel, and the splash guard as well. Then you need a special tool to remove the oil lines.
