For your seat I suggest taking it to an upholstery shop.  My 2009 CVO Springer stitching was coming apart and the moco would not repair under warranty.  The upholstery guy took the whole seat apart and restitched everything for about $100.  Not a problem since.

Pretty sad though....HD has an upholstery shop !

Why would they not repair or replace it under warranty?  The bike has a two year warranty, basically "bumper to bumper", and the seat is most definitely covered under the defective crap clause.  Was this your dealer blowing you off, or did you actually contact Harley-Davidson corporate customer service?  They tried this same BS with the Road Glide guys not too long ago, and eventually they changed the seat to eliminate the highly stressed area where the stitching kept tearing out.
People who persisted got new seats.

Good to know grc- when mine eventually starts tearing apart I will contact HD directly if neccessary.

I went by to pick up my rear seat and it was the same as mine. I looked at the regular Breakout they had and it was the same as well. They told me to give them a while and they would give me the old seat back to have it repaired at a upholstery shop.

I've looked and I have yet to find an aftermarket seat that will fit the Breakout.  Has any of the majors started making one yet?

Corbin has 1 on their site for a breakout....kinda large though.
