Well last Wednesday on the start of our holiday we dropped Cherry off at Harbour City HD for some love and attention.  It's 100km from home to Harbour City and in the wee hours of the morning it started bucketing down with rain. By the time we were up it had slowed to a drizzle and seeing as we were heading off for 3 weeks it was now or wait a few months until my next chance to drop off the bike... So I decide to face the rain

Well it was one very wet ride and the breakout felt very stable and had heaps of grip. At no time did I feel uncomfortable ( other than being soaked ) riding in the wet. But my heart just about broke once I got off the bike so see the below 







Anyway the boys were going to give her a tub for me but I recon there will be many hours of cleaning to do once I get her home!

Cherrys Love and Attention:

SE263 Cams
Hi Comp 10.5:1 pistons
.030 Head Gaskets = Final Comp around 10.8:1
Std 110 CVO Heads getting some HCHD tiding up.
SERT -> Dyno tuned.
V&H Big Shot Staggered -> If they fit... 

Should be good for 115rwhp but hoping for 120rwhp.

Those "dirty" pics make give me the hee bee gee bees!

I'm interested to see if the Big Shots fit....keep us posted and good luck on your build.

That's how a bike should look once in a while, ridden!  Now when you do a detailed cleaning you might see things you hadn't seen yet and get to know your bike even better.  Looks like a four hour job to me!   

[Soot]

Spray on the S100 bike wash; let it sit for 5 min; then hose it off and you're good as new! Glad to see you enjoying your bike.......we got hit with another 5" of snow this morning!!!! mIddle of friggen April.....

[Bretto]

Got the call that Cherry is ready to go! The normal softail V&H Big Shot Staggered's fitted without too much trouble at all! 

I'm still away for the next week and a half so will post pics when I can. Plus the motor is strong with it's new internals. Really impressed the builder when he went for a spin. Now just to run it in before putting it on the dyno for some real tuning.

Freekin' AWESOME!!!

The pipes fit with out issue!?  I want to go to Vance and Hines and give them are "success stories" and then have them pay the forum for THEIR R&D!

Well after a very long wait (Almost eight months!) my Breakout has arrived!  We got the call this morning saying it was here.  So we headed into the Dealer ASAP!

The boys had been busy as it was on the bike lift and had just been run prior to us getting there.











The boys didn't have enough time to finish the pre-delivery and clean the bike before I was due to head out to work. I work 4 1/2 hours from home. So I still haven't riden it yet and seeing as I dont get home until Friday which is a Holiday, they are dropping it off at home on Thursday. So the next 4 Nightshifts are going to be the longest in history!

Only one word can describe this bike!  "WOW!"

Just got mine last night....it truly is a great bike!  Most ergonomic fit I've ever had....and I've been thru about 14 different bikes over the years...

It's so true.  I am 6'6" and thought i would need 3" extensions for the forward controls....nope.  I agree, best ergos of any bike I have ever owned, period...

[Bretto]

I agree that the forwards are just perfect in length, I'm only 6'.  It will be interesting to see how much the 16" Apes make to the riding position, doubt I will be able to keep them inline with the rake angle. Will have to push them forwards, which I hope will still look good with the Z bar style.

One ergo I have found awkward is the cruise control switch, feels a long way from the grip.

Ah, totally agree there.  It is quite a stretch to set the cruise...resume is not as bad

Well I had planned to pickup my bike today on our way home from a 3 week camping trip as while I was away we had some Go Fast Goodies added. But in the last week I decided to get some Z bar ( Convertible Style) apes fitted hopefully by today. The bars arrived but I have to wait for the extend cables so now I will get the bike next monday when I return from work.

But I did get the boys to send me a pic with the Big Shots fitted! 



This is the only pic I got so will take some better ones next week.
