I'm also loving my CVO Breakout. :cucumber:

So far I enjoyed many hours on the bike. After 4 month almost 10000km.

Tire:
Changed my rear tire after 8000km to Metzeler ME 880 Marathon XXL 240/40 R 18 M/C 79V and I'm happy with it. Now I'm hoping, that there will soon be a Metzeler front tire available.

Fender:
After 3 month I got rust on my rear fender. Replacement is ordered. Does it look the same, you guys who are also having rust on the fender?
Same general area but mine had not yet broken thru the clear coat.

My first rear fender was real bad, the replacements doing the same thing but not as bad. waiting for the riding season to end to order the new fender. doesn't  seem to be getting any worse but rust will never just stop.

wow.....I mean........wow.....numerous tank and rear fender paint bubbling/rust issues? 

I have checked mine and everything seems fine, so far, this is unreal.....paint is a selling point of CVO's....

They did replace my front fender due to paint peeling on the underside of the front lip, but bubbling paint is bad..

Its the bare metal thing.....the red ones will be fine.  I noticed a tiny, what looks like a, lack spec under my clear on my tank....close to the center council.  I hope its not rust!  I never get the thing wet....its NEVER in anything but PERFECT weather.  The spec is the size of this period " . ".....I'm probably being to anal....but hey.

  Nicky, keep an eye on it.  Mine started to grow over time.  Good news is Moco covered it under warranty no questions asked.

It's been this way for like 5 months....I'm wondering if its a tiny dirt spec in the clear.

That is exactly why I am riding her hard the first year and a half. I have been through all types of storms. I clean her soon after and its always in the garage between rides but I want to find out everything before the warranty runs out.
