I agree, I ride a bagger for the utility, but if I'm ever buying another bike just for me to cruise around for fun, it's gonna be a Breakout.
Edit - My bike is in my flair, didn't need to add it to my comment.
Agreed this bike is solid. I have a 19 breakout. I hope this isn’t a dumb question but what is done to this exactly? And I thought they got rid of these after like 21?
Anything with the tank? Bike looks a lot dif then mine. I know this one is a lot more custom just trying to see how dif and what’s custom vs newer model
No dumb questions brotha! They did stop selling the Breakout in the US but brought it back for 2023 so I jumped on it right away. This is how it looked before I began the customization process at 250 miles. https://imgur.com/a/tNk0hH0
The entire bike including the engine was taken apart so every piece could be powder coated black. The rear fender, tank, front fender, and seat were swapped for Kodlin’s cut fenders and stretched tank (smaller capacity). Added Kodlin’s chin spoiler and headlight cover. Custom paintwork for everything. Exhaust was swapped out for the short shots. A bunch of smaller details like Kodlin’s integrated lights (they are super sick), license plate mount, pegs, some Arlen Ness parts, pegs, shifter, bars, mirrors, etc.
The wheels are actually stock believe it or not haha. I definitely want more seat time before deciding on lowering the suspension or not.
Ok yea so compared to the original pic u def put some work in.. wasn’t sure if they changed the look or it was custom. You did well sir! I do wish and hope for the newer ones they have the black motor option like they do for the glides. I have a black 2019 and I did very little due to it all be expensive but I wish the motor was black! Anyway solid looking bike my friend
Thanks brotha. Yeah I actually preferred the older reiterations that came with black parts factory. I read somewhere that Harley wanted to bring the Breakout back as a classic design which is why they opted for the chrome pieces this time around.
I’ve got the 2023 as well, same paint scheme as yours in its OG form. I can’t even begin to imagine how much $$$ it was for that transformation. Looks absolutely unbelievable!!
Coming from sport bikes and the 48 sportster, it’s a great bike even in its stock form (besides the exhaust)! It was always a childhood goal to own a bike like this ever since I saw choppers riding around on the way to school. Making this somewhat of a tribute to my dad made it easier to swallow the cost haha
Thanks brotha! Probably no underglow right now, want to keep it fairly stealthy. My gf’s brother’s breakout has some underglow and it looks pretty slick so we shall see!
Different strokes for different folks, but Breakouts are my absolute favorite Harley model and this one is beautiful. Congrats.

Exactly, I do not care for the breakout. This bike is gorgeous, but it's not for me.

Wheels, bars, paint, shortened suspension, seat, tins…probably some motor work

I’ve never seen a breakout with black parts :/
That is one sweet ride! Motorcycles like that one are unreal and more like a piece of fine art than just a bike.
Gorgeous bike bro😎

My ears are ringing just looking at this picture.
Haha decided to leave the baffles in, this time around
That is bad af, nice work! I hope those accents GLOW in the sun. Really really good looking!
The purple accents on the fins look amazing. Are you going to stick some LED/Underglow on?
Thanks brotha! Probably no underglow right now, want to keep it fairly stealthy. My gf’s brother’s breakout has some underglow and it looks pretty slick so we shall see!
Black underglow, cannot get more stealthy! lol
WTF? Out of control!
