    • CVO1: '16 PS Breakout - Starfire Black

  I can't speak to that as this is my first set and I'm only 2k miles into them. Tread life will really come down to your riding style, my Dunlops were breaking traction and thus getting eaten up faster than these. Generally speaking harder compound will last longer if it can grip in the conditions you ride. The Me880 compound is similar to the center(firm) portion on my Michelin pilotpower3 from another bike, and more soft than the stock Dunlop.
  The main point was I suggest the tire profile: the 120/70 front makes the bike more responsive to me than the 130/60 that was stock, and the slightly larger rear may help keep planted under throttle.
  My reasons for the Me880s were 1-softer compound, 2 better profile, 3-both front & rear are radial construction; I'm hesitant to mix bias-ply and radials which is what stock did. In the 2000 miles I've used them, the front performs as described above and rear plants/grabs better than stock. I haven't felt my tail end sliding out on me in curves since the change; how much of that is attributed to compound vs size will have to wait until I run out the tires. Hope that helps

So far I would have to say the best mod was installing 16 inch Burleigh High Ball bars. I am just a tad over 6 foot, but only with a 30 inch inseam, so my height comes from a long torso. Needless to say, when seated on the bike the stock bars were never right for me. Had to lean forward and roll my shoulders forward a bit and that never felt good after a couple hours in the saddle (thank you enlarged shoulder socket)

The new bars fixed that. Nice position when seated, and oddly enough I seem to catch less air on the highway.Maybe because I am not curled forward cupping the wind. No idea why, but a much more relaxed ride.

I would go so far as to say that the bars just barely edged out the dyno tune as far as favorite mods/upgrades.

Not counting the 117 kit with head work, my first favorite mod was my solo leather seat with a stingray insert.

Any more pictures of the seat and details on where you purchased it?
Thanks

Purchased via Bitchin' Seat Co. http://www.bitchinseatstore.net/Default.asp
I paid close to $1700. The Japanese stingray insert was $700 alone.

Thread resurrection time as I am a recent newbie and have carried out quite a few modifications to my 2017 Breakout.

No 'favourite' persay but all have been carried out with deliberation and consideration. Personally I am please with them all to-date.

Rizoma Tomok Mirrors and Oberon adjustable levers both brake and clutch. Couldn't believe after spending so much on a scoot adjustable levers were not included in the deal. The European standard mirrors fell short of the end of the bars and I found I had a huge blindspot.

Shotgun shock fitted. As with the standard suspension and the 260mm rear fender and tyre I would have needed to fit a suspension bump-stop to prevent fouling.
