Default Heartland License plate mount and light - Breakout

Heartland side mount license plate mount and slightly cut down passenger peg to give the stack-up the original length. Very nice parts, and they are proud of them. I had to trim the edges of my plate a bit to fit inside the frame mount. I opted for the Heartland chain guard plate light. After all the smoke cleared, I would do it again. I like how it flips back to stow or save you’re a$$. My old outer primary has a small drag mark under it from the lean limit on the Breakout. I’d hate a rigid plate be the reason I lost my bike or worse. Yikes.

Thumbs up Harley Breakout open primary - Performance machine, BDL

I guess I could have taken more pictures of this, but it went so fast and the instructions with the PM kit and the BDL clutch/drive supplement were pretty good. Some of the part numbers on the illustrated breakdown didn’t match up with the drawing provided. If you download their directions, you can see what I mean.. Or I’m wrong again. That happens. Especially when I’m CERTAIN that I am right.

Anyways, Motor Plate and .500” spacer mounts to the motor/trans. It took me a minute to figure out what hardware went where (thanks, crazy picture/part number directions). Loctite, and torque wrenches. Slap on the starter, the clutch basket, then the belt. It went together pretty easy. I used a little isopropyl alcohol to get the belt to slip into final position without hurting or forcing anything.

DEFINETELY save your starter dowels from the old primary. That was the only hardware I re-used. They are the split, round spring steel bushings that you’ll probably want to throw away first. Picture a 6-3” 250lb guy hanging out of his recycle bin at night with a mag light. I’m sure it wasn’t pretty.

The Softail starter torque up with a long extension and universal from the RH side of the bike. No oil tank removal required.

Ps… I did snap off the brass connectors on top of my neutral safety switch when I pushed my starter back during my OEM primary removal. I found out when I was hooking everything up. The $20 sucked, but the couple of days waiting to fire up the bike was what really bugged me.

shrini23 posted earlier and gave a good way for a guy to save quite a bit of cash to get the same quality belt drive. Thanks, brother!

The DNA kit was the 65 tooth, 1-1/8" with 4 piston caliper. The kit number should be M-BC-3902. Fits the 3/4 or 1" (24mm per harley on the Breakout). I hope this helps. I bought mine on eBay from a guy called Motek... something like that.

Oh I don't hate my bike but I've wanted a Breakout since I first saw one. Unfortunately, they came out a few months after I got my BL...which to me, is a "poor mans Breakout", which is why I can't get one...I'm a poor man.

Thumbs up Gravity - Breakout back on the ground

I got the bike back on the ground. I can now see how it sits with the Legend Air suspension dropped. You might be able to see the rear caliper installed.

Default Breakout sitting on the deck

Here is a shot of the bike squatted, with that brake relocated via the DNA Brakester kit, it starts to make the Breakout Gasser wheels look respectable. Cool, that saves me money not chasing more shiny **** on the web. I like the brakes on one side, open wheels on the other for design/style. The HD Rocker chrome axle covers with the Ness LED grafted onto them keep the clutter down a bit. I wish I could take better pictures. The bike looks sick in person.

One step closer to getting on the pavement!
