Just a quick question....D&D says none of their pipes fit a Breakout. How is the fitment on the pipe. I like the regular Fat Cat, but it won't fit.
Wow.... according to their website you are correct.....
I contacted them back in October 2012 regarding an exhaust for the CVO Breakout, & they sent me email with a link to their website. The link was for the Low Cat 2:1 Exhaust System, & it
specifically stated that it would fit the 2013 Breakout. I purchased the exhaust system in November 2012 because my bike was supposed to be here in December, but it did not arrive until last week.
Now when I was installing the system, I had taken it on & off the bike approximately 4x because I was not satisfied with the clearances between the pipes & the oil lines. I eventually installed 1/2" spacers between the mounting bracket & the frame..... therefore moving the pipes away from the lines. I now have approx. 1/2" between the vent line & the heat shield/ pipe.
The exhaust system seems to fit ok..... but now that I know it is not made specifically for that bike I am
kinda pissed. It is a combination of uncontrolled mishaps:
1- Harley promised the bike would arrive by December 2012
2- I was told by D&D the exhaust system would fit the CVO Breakout & had an email from D&D indicating such
3- I bought the system expecting the bike to be on time, & the bike did not come until 7 months later
4- D&D has since updated their website to indicate the pipe will NOT fit the Breakout
5- I spent approx. 4 hrs. trying to get it installed to my bike
not aware that D&D had changed their application for the system
6- System in now installed fortunately because of some luck & ingenuity.....
***** If I were you..... I would wait for them to make the correct application *******
..... if I had
not deleted the email they sent me, I would have contacted them tomorrow & really let them have it.... thanks for the info regarding the D&D exhausts
