Z06-
  What is the part number for this?  Was it part #5253 with #3184 mounting clamps?

Hey Dobe,

No, actually, the plate is part #9251, and the swingarm mounting clamp/bracket is #3188(Kuryakyn part numbers).  I have to thank someone on this site(sorry, forgot their handle) that gave me a heads up to use the 3188 bracket and not the 3184.  The 3188 was made larger for the bigger diameter swingarms on the Rocker and CVO's....freakin' expensive clamp compared to the others but it fits perfectly.  I even had just enough room to put a thin piece of rubber between the mounting bracket and the swingarm so as to not scratch the paint.

Hi folks,

Not an earth-shattering mod, but someone asked for pics once I had it done so here it is.  Kuryakyn swingarm plate mount.  Also had the rear reflector removed.  some folks like the swingarm placement, some folks hate it...I say ANYTHING is better than stock

ZO6, is the plate lighted?  How did they run the wires?  Did they have to remove fender the take out the ill designed reflector?  Looks so much better than stock!

Hi Speedy,

Yes it is lighted.  There is a row of about 15 LED's and it's like daylight on the plate. If you decide to run from the law for some reason be sure to cut the wire to the light because they will see you for miles  !!

they pulled the existing plate wire out of the left side fender support, ran it down the back of the upper swingarm, around the back of the axle, and down the back of the lower swingarm.  The only thing visible are two small black zip ties on the upper swingarm, and one them is at the very top of it, so it's hard to notice....a very clean job...

Yes, they did have to remove the fender where there is a mounting plate with two screws.  Pull the plate off and the reflector snaps right off.  A whole lot of R/D spent on mounting a reflector, however, I would think there is some requirement that a free-standing safety reflector must be mounted securely to prevent it from falling off due to vibration, etc.

ZO6, Thank you for your speedy reply!  Still waiting not so patiently for my black and silver to arrive.

Thanks- expensive, but what isn't on these things

Jeff,

Is the left turn signal now closer to the fender than the right after removing the plate bracket? Or did they put the regular spacer back in place?

Hi Greg,

Actually, the left blinker would have been further from the fender then the right blinker with the stock plate mount on, correct?  All they did was remove the plate mount which was between the left blinker and the left strut.  Now the distance from the left blinker to the left strut and the distances from the right blinker to the right strut are identical....Not sure if I am missing something?

Actually, there is no spacer that I can see between either blinker and where they mount onto the struts...

Nice mod! Love the red bikes! They're the fastest.

Would this new location be bag friendly?

I wonder if the VRod Muscle LED tail light could be retro fitted on the Breakout....



That would look cool with the lower side mount plate and remove the std tail light.

I wonder if the VRod Muscle LED tail light could be retro fitted on the Breakout....

I thought of that too.  My take is that the rear fenders are substantially different so fitment will be an issue.  Instead I'm having my dealer install flexible LED's that hug the curvature of the rear fender.  I'm also adding LED bulbs to the two rear bullet tailights.  Will post pics when the mods are done.

I want to get rid of the over the tire license plate and tailight bracket on my Canadian model Breakout and go to a side mount. I am looking at the same Kurakyn plate but may end up buying the saddle bags. I am wondering if the bags would cover the plate?  Is anyone that converted from their oem sidemount interested in selling it?
Here's a pic of my over the tire mount removed.

Didn't happen to see out there any sort of "cap" for that small hole for the solo bolt?  I have this nice fender and a hole in it,or a large bolt sticking out of it, depending on how you want to look at it.
