He never stopped complaining about the previous bike he had on another forum before he traded it in on the BO. 

Or the one before that either...I'm surprised to see you claiming paint woes on a warrantied bike to justify the new one.  And FWIW, you won't find a better custom painter than Gunslingers.

I can't really say I'm much surprised here.

Congrats on the new bike!

I'm not claiming anything.  The clear coat had what looked like pinholes in it, and there was 4 or 5 black/brown specks that will probably end up being rust.  It's not complaining, it's stating facts. ,As far as Gunslinger doing bad work, that's not what I meant....I meant the polished/raw metal poses issues, just like previous HDs like the CVO sprinters and fat boys.

I'm happy, and that is all that matters....

Nice.  Love the charcoal color.  Hope your Happy Nick.

Don't listen to all the BS.

Going to add either the SG, Ultra or Limited this spring

Nicky the new bike looks great. The SG is my second favorite HD. One of these days it will be added to the collection...I like the charcoal color but I think i'll be going for the black one. It will go nicely with the black/silver BO and will be the bike to ride when I need to carry some stuff with me like when I join up with Mikeytee and the rest of the members on one of their famous GTG's. I will swap out the wheels, though. I'm thinking 18 rear/21 front in this style:

Those are really awesome wheels

Nicky, I don't know you but I just have to hang my head and sigh. I just cant fathom doing what you did. I guess the BO was to much of a bike. You cant blame it on the paint as it was warrantied. Never in a million years would I trade my Breakout for a f$%*in bagger. You will regret this down the road.

HUH?  I know there was a really nice Ultra at a dealer in Zanesville this summer.

Still there.  Go buy it.......

SG is a great bike, love mine. Thinking about dropping down to one bike just not ready to make the decision between the breakout and the sg.

The paint issues bother me...I don't want to deal with swapping tins for 2 years, then have to pay out of pocket.  There are a bunch of people are having issues.  On the top of the line model of of anything, there shouldn't be issues like that.  It was no where near "too much" bike for me.  Raw metal + clear coat failure = rust and replacement tins, I don't like this.  You may not mind, but I do.

[2013CVOBreakout]

Mine is fine. If it weren't  I would have them replace it under warranty and inspect the new stuff before installation. Whatever, it doesn't matter to me. It does seem to me though that you have been whining about the bike since you bought it and according to others you were whining about the one you had before. One thing this does tell me is to renew my warranty in a year. Hope you enjoy the bagger.

I got offered $24,000 on trade for my CVO Breakout, thus making it an even swap for a Charcoal Pearl Gray Street Glide Special.  I would love to keep both, but its one of the other.  I miss the bags and the sound system, but I love the rarity of the Breakout.  I do feel less compelled to ride the Breakout because its so shiney and perfect....I'm torn.

3 weeks ago it was "so shiney (sic) and perfect."

Now this:

I traded in the Breakout.  The clear coat on the tank was pitting all over the place.  it looked like pinholes in the clear.....I tried buffing it to no avail.  I also noticed 4 blackish/brown specks on the tank as well.  The front fended pinstripe was messed up at the lip of the fender.  All in all, the bike was sexy as hell, I think the paint was executed poorly.  i wish they didn't sub out the paint work because I think that if Harley did it in house, it would have been better.

Watch your paint, Breakout owners!  Apparently, when it goes, it goes quick!

This is kindof like " I have to kill myself now because I see wrinkle in my skin and which means Im gonna die sooner or later".

[grc]

Kind of hard to sympathize with someone who supposedly knew about Harley's previous attempt to copy a show circuit fad ("grind" paint job on Fatboy) and still went ahead and bought a Harley with a clear on raw metal finish.  It works fine on the show circuit because those bikes don't get ridden in the elements, and they only have to last a short time.

Anyhow, I don't see a need to bash Nicky because he unloaded his bike and bought another Harley.  Anyone who buys a Harley deserves commiseration, not attacks.  So be nice, like me.

Yeah, kind of like that......
