2013 Harley Davidson Softail Breakout

2013 Harley Davidson Softail Breakout

[@kaizenleader7980]

I just pick one up myself in November 2013. I haven't had a bike in 30 years and was looking for the "one" until I saw the Breakout. I love it. I can't justify the money but like I said, I love it. Thanks for the video. I'm having the same problem with the mirrors. I also want the bars swept back a little more. I have a bad shoulder and I think it would help. Thx again and safe riding.

[@phc997]

Thanks Cody, your video was very instructive and it helped me out a lot. I am a biker, but never had a harley. I am seriously looking at the breakout, and I was really happy to have your view. Thanks again, cheers, Phil

[@saxmanwizard1]

Im 6"3" and I have a 2013 Breakout , Nearly exactly like this one , same colour same pipes, gas cap and derby cover and timing cover, all Willie G, Ive done 13500 kilometres since I've had it from new , and love it, best Harley I've ever owned or ridin.

[@lupanio25]

Just saw one today up close and fell in love all over again great bike man

[@codystowe4844]

I still love the bike, almost 4k miles on it now and running amazing. Since the video, actually the day after the post. I added the screaming eagle heavy breather intake, and the screaming eagle race tune. Dyno tuned by the Harley dealership. Just put her up for the winter. Some have asked about the size? I am 6' and 225lbs and the bike fits me perfect. I have no complaints what so ever so far.

[@kristopher1859]

Beautiful ride Cody.I’m planning to buy exactly the same because I love the sound and the look too.Keep it up man.

[@rmdelore7005]

Thank you Cody for your video. It was very helpful in making my decision to buy my 2014 Breakout. Just got her yesterday and yes, the stock mirrors must go. Love the feel of my new Breakout....overall...sweet ride.

[@vaitaaboy]

thanks for posting vid - im planning to buy the 2014 breakout - my dealer tells me they will be available after sept 2013 - your comments & findings will help me make up my mind re color ..... cheers

[@czarguzman2927]

Just saw your video on the 2013 HD Breakout. Nice ride. Thanks for sharing.

[@popeyevalls]

Flawless...absolutely FLAWLESS BIKE. Welcome to the harley family bro. Good first choice

[@andrewbrack77]

i have had no issues riding my breakout on long trips and im 6'4. it is a very comfortable bike.

[@bradelford363]

Love it. Full stage 1 will have you grinning non stop!

[@codystowe4844]

Baffles are in. After talking to the service manager and the Dyno tech, they recommended i leave them in for performance and reliability. Said with the EFI its is very hard to keep a tune and performance will "fall on its face without the baffles". I am very happy with the Sound, Look, and performance from this setup. I have since added the intake and had the bike Dyno'd with the Screaming Eagle Super Tuner

[@FreedomRider1982]

Beautiful Bike . Arguably the best year ! I just came across your channel in my feed actually and I'm happy to support your efforts and those of other fellow moto content creators. I look forward to seeing and hearing more from you in the future, keep up the great work and ride safe out there.

[@phc997]

Hi Cody, thank you so much, I finally jumped into into it. I signed my own today. Just black like yours. Thanks for the inspiration. Phil

[@scourge34]

Absolutely. Does take a bit to learn how to lean it, but it curves wonderful. Love it.

[@CycleCruza]

Sick bike! I'm thinking about adding this bike with my crotch rockets.

[@bobfrankenstein707]

Being that your review was only in comparison TO those crotch rockets? Genius idea..

[@stevemack389sm]

that is what I'm looking at if I get approved with my cosigner I'm getting a Harley Davidson but if I can't get approved for the Harleys I'm going with my gsxr 750

[@craneb2006]

Cody Thanks for the reply!! I am told my Big Radius will be in mid July. I as well did not like the lic plate bracket I did change it to the lower swing arm. I will upload a video or slide on youtube this weekend. Have you been getting a lot of compliments on that bike? Seems here in Hawaii everyone is eyeballing it. I changed out the hand grips, brake, chutch levers, black flush mount gas cap, chrome Heavy Breather with the Gloss black cover, lowered the bike, and smoked out the turn signals.

[@speedygonzalez913]

Cool video I got mine in may17 and I'm still waiting for my exhaust went with the black as well I almost got the red but had the same feelings about the color difference. The black just looks right all the way!

[@codystowe4844]

Best of luck to you getting one.. Yes, would wait for the 2014, due to the fact that there are not a lot of aftermarket parts out there right now for customizing. It is a head turner though.

[@codystowe4844]

They are the Streamline set. Got them from Colonial Harley Davison in Colonial Heights, Va. Same set that come on the CVO Breakout

[@codystowe4844]

The pipes took me about an 1 1/2 hours to install by myself with a little Jack and Coke. No they are not the Rocker Pipes, they are the CVO Breakout pipes. Just need a small angle socket for the back bolt. The bend on the rear top pipe is a more aggressive bend then what is on the Rocker, they will not fit. Enjoy your new bike, I love mine

[@yankeeed15pr]

Nice vid, great bike! I own a 2012 Fatboy Lo in Denim Black, and also have the Vance & Hines Big Radius 2 into 2. But you know what? That Breakout looks Super Cool, who knows?... Enjoy the bike man and keep the videos rolling!

[@TheNonautomatoN]

Hey man, great looking bike! That will be my upgrade from my Sportster 1200 next year. I love the black but the crimson red is calling to me too. Anyway, thanks for the walkaround of the bike!

[@KingPancakez]

I've been saving for this bike, almost there!

[@saxmanwizard1]

Awesome Video , I have just bought the exacxt same bike , same year same colour and pipes which I had fitted , love the bike , nice to ride , I did do one extra thing tho , I had the the front end raised with 4 inch progressive forks and progressive springs, it handles better in to the corners and as I am 6'3 and 255lbs it made for a better riding position as well , So yeah recommend extened front forks with progressive springs . Again Thanks for sharing the video.

[@goff8128]

Thank you for mentioning the makers of the Mirrors, I have just ordered a set, wonderful. I want a breakout but I need some funds 1st, Like you, I have just bought my 1st bike for 10 years (kids) happy riding from England, lovely bike

[@codystowe4844]

Thanks, one of our other toys..:).. Also have w 2011 Challenger SRT8 392 putting down 515rwhp. The Raptor has the Hennessy performance Veloci 475 package done. Fun toys.

[@jhowej3]

That's a good looking bike. Enjoy it and ride safe!

[@codystowe4844]

Turns are fine, it handles great.... The 240 rear tire does take a min to get use to, and you do have to lean more in the turns. Defiantly should take one for a test ride before butting one though. I love mine.

[@2payton4234]

you have a sweet harley and a god damn raptor!! Guess thats where hard work gets ya, i guess.

[@stevenrobertson5912]

I own a 2014 Breakout and I've got to replace my stock mirrors also. Just wondering if your Kuryakyn mirrors really solve the problem? After reading through most of the posts I'm surprised how negative some people can be. I really enjoyed your video and I'm looking forward to any more helpful information that your willing to share. Thank you Cody!

[@oliviermorisset3572]

The single word : splendid !

[@71donkrider]

I don't own a Harley, simply because not to many of them look good and way over priced and break down quite often. But this one is beautiful and i like it..be safe Fellow Ryder...peace

[@codystowe4844]

Which lic plate mount did you go with? I have been trying to find one that will work. Kuryakin makes one, but no one will give me an answer if it will fit or not. Sound like you have an awesome setup. Yes people are always eyeballing the bike, but of course not many people know what a Breakout is.. Hahaha. I actually entered a local bike show and won 1st place because the judges thought it was a highly modified Wide Glide..... I just accepted my trophy and laughed...

[@paulhenry2907]

Hello Cody, Paul from New Zealand, just wondering if you still have the breakout 2013, and are you still happy with it, iv'e just brought one 2014 model, arrives in June, watched you done to your bike, carn't wait for mine. cheers. KIWI Paul.

[@Mercury_EG]

Im a current HD owner and have had my share of headaches. On this deployment I have debated on the Breakout and the Victory Hammer. After all the research Victory comes out on top in performance, price and duration of build... But sadly it just isnt a Harley. I really REALLY wish I could pull myself away but a Harley is a Harley, they turn heads, they sound phenominal, and in the true scope of why guys get bikes... It gets chicks wet. The appeal of HD in American is unmatched no matter what

[@MacsRAwesome1]

Thanks Cody, Nice bike. I love the mirrors and gauges your installed. The pipes sounds great. Are the handle bars too far of a stretch? How about corners? Do the pegs scrape the road when turning too short?

[@mattdannis]

Good looking bike lets see what it looks like now? I wanna hear it and see it with all the upgrades etc!

[@scroupiousful]

Great Video!!! I am getting one in a couple of months and going with the same color black. I was going to go with the Candy Color Chrome flake but was afraid I would regret it later on.

[@scerbi]

Thanks for the review Cody. I don't know if you mentioned this but how does it handle in the corners. I've read reviews that say it takes some muscle to turn especially when going slow. I live up near Quantico and I want to pick up a 2014.

[@evilmuscle]

Did you have to remove part of the license plate frame and bolt to another slot to get it to side mount

[@superfloyd1]

Love ur bike.im planning on buying a new flhx 2014 and hopefully will be able to buy those big radius too!!!

[@emilyr1555]

Literally just bought the 2014 Breakout in black with V&H pipes and couldn't be more excited. Pick her up at the end of the month. Do you still have yours, or have you sold now since the post back in 2013?

[@BrunoPettorelli]

turns are smooth and done in a seconds. just think to push with the opposite knee when speed is too low.

[@EjectedAlready]

Hi Cody. Nice video. I am interested in buying this bike. However I am 6.2" (..on a good day as you say) and I've read that the length of this bike is similar to the night rod. I have seen the night rod with smaller guys than me and the bike looked rather small. So I'll go and have a look but your input would be very useful. Thanks a lot.

[@spw1274]

Nicely done Cody. I got my Breakout about a month ago and absolutely love to ride it. After owning two Honda sport bikes I was ready to give HD a shot and don't regret it for a minute. I am just now starting to customize my bike and really like what you have done with yours. Pipes immediately stood out!!!!! What do you think about the chrome switch covers on the black handlebars. I also agree that this bike is more comfortable than one would expect it to be. Keep the posts coming

[@outlawrocky4279]

Sweet ride man. I'm local in VA as well

[@aweaver1965]

How long did the pipe install take you? Looks like it would be tough to get to the bolts on the rear pipe? Are those the V&H pipes for the rocker? Any issues with the sensors? I have the exact same bike, just picked it up last Saturday. I'm debating between the chrome pipes you've got, the black ones and/or a fully custom set. Thanks for the video, very nice!

[@craigknight2157]

Hi mate; Where did you say you got those mirrors from they look wicked and did you remove the side reflectors. I am buying one in about two months and would love to have those mirrors or similar on mine here in Australia.

[@dlorenz77]

Seriously nice bike dude. From a bigger guys perspective, I really appreciate the video. On longer rides do your legs ever feel cramped? I'm very interested in the dyno tune w the intake. Keep us posted.

[@darwinortiz6394]

Awesome looking bike.

[@Ematicic]

Looking good. Did you have it dyno'd or just basic map? I am torn between those and the Bassani 2/1. I got the CVO version but prefer the black in non-cvo. I was amazed at how much more comfortable it was than my old Heritage. I did google the "hammer" ugh... I can see why that guy is trying so hard to reclaim so dignity. ha ha ha.

[@craneb2006]

I ordered the Kuryakin plate but the mounting bracket from the rocker-c its in the catalog for $25.00.

[@paulseute]

hi cody i just bought the 2014 breakout morroco gold. gonna get it next week. do you have the adress of where you bought those tremendous pipes? thank u

[@mountain7777]

Cody, Do you still have this bike? If so anymore thoughts on it since 2013?

[@DrJekyl30]

Yo Cody what part of VA are you in? I'm in Strasburg. Maybe I will see you out on the road.

[@MrPfifeDawg]

Thinking about getting this one. Are you still liking the bike? And have you made any changes to it? Thanks bro! Bike looks sweet!

[@haggisbagpipe8422]

nice bike mate you obviously love your new ride good for you!ride the wheels of it cheers.

[@codystowe4844]

Im right there with ya on that one. Next thing that is going.

[@cal6969]

Nice Harley ... Not sold on the mirrors though, I think they are a bit tacky. If you like loud pipes, the baffles slide right out to make straight pipes. Loud pipes save lives.

[@bigjjones86]

Looks great man! I'm getting the same exhaust installed right now. Where did you get the mirrors?

[@storyteller2092]

do u have any idea about the iron 883,do u think it will fit a guy who is 6'6 feet

[@loraynal53]

You have a nice bike..Very nice...

[@codystowe4844]

No, since I have posted this video of my Breakout, I have since traded it in on a 2014 Streetglide Special. I love the Breakout and it's look however, it was killing me on long rides. The Streetglide is my new baby now.

[@RyanMcIntyre]

It's a sweet bike, but without a windshield it has to be hell over 50mph for very long.

[@AdoreYouInAshXI]

Whats wrong with it on long rides?

[@RyanMcIntyre]

Wind blast. I could only take my cruiser for about an hour sitting up in the wind before my core was just too fatigued to do the job, then I found myself hanging on by my hands which is unsafe and only good for another hour. Bikes without windshields are great around-town hops, but useless for any distance/time unless you just enjoy it or don't know better. I put a small windscreen on the cruiser, made life way better.

[@Kashmirknight]

The wind...plain and simple. I have had a Harley Breakout for about a year now. It is one of the most comfortable rides I have ever owned, but when on the interstate its a brute. I have about 12,000 miles on it in the first year. I have done rides about 550 miles a day for several days straight. Mostly back roads, and the main reason for that is because when you get that thing on the interstate...(which i have done for 2/3 hrs at a time). Its just misery at about 70mph. You no longer are enjoying the ride...you just want to get to where your going.

[@ShaneStroud]

Just Google Kuryakyn skeleton hand mirrors. You can find many places that sell them online including Amazon if you buy from them.

[@wapartist]

Are the bars stock? Is badass

[@moschera62]

Thanks for the video. Brilliant. Very informative. Cheers.

[@farangpatong9679]

Great Video Cody. Love the Breakout I just bought the same model myself. Have you done any other Mods since you Produced this Video?

[@codystowe4844]

Glad you like your bike, however Im not a Harley dealer and not trying to sell you one. Im just posting this to help people out that are interested in this style bike. If you don't like HD's then dont watch the video's. There are plenty of videos out there about Victory, Honda, and other non "badass" bikes out there. :)

[@BonixQ]

Thanks for your thoughts

[@jimwatts4901]

Cool bike 👍 if I'd of thought I really would of got one of these instead of a dyna. But the dyna is still nice and not as heavy. 😁👍

[@CactusJack252]

Did you ever put it on the dyno?

[@hoganlongfellow]

wow, beautiful bike

[@4x4Tinny]

Hardly Dangerous? Shit here we just say Heaps of Dollars!!! Always dreamed of one bike only. Wasn't gunna bork away at the last minute hahaha. Although the Suzuki Boulevard was a pretty good temptation. lol

[@charlestehuia9263]

Gidday mate, I live in New Zealand and I own a 98 soft tail. I was wondering how much you paid in U.S currency for this bike as I'm considering flying over to the States and buying a new Harley next year

[@TomJunWing]

My friend paid about $20k in NYC including a few mods like air cleaner, tune, exhaust.

[@charlestehuia9263]

Thanks for the reply

[@TomJunWing]

You're welcome.

[@codystowe4844]

I turned it sideways. The mounting bracket that it comes with allows you to have it straight or turned. However, depending on the State you live in, it may be illegal to turn the plate sideways. So research the state laws first.

[@liamhagan4434]

is it good for tall guys?

[@laylabono4035]

Nice very good looking .

[@paulie15]

Stock exhaust you aftermarket?

[@codystowe4844]

Dennis Kirk is where I ordered the mirrors from. Made by Kuriakin.

[@josemsolis7167]

I want this bike so bad its not even fair to the one I already got. Come February, I'm going to get it. I already see nice pipes chopped rear fender and LED lights.

[@storyteller2092]

which bike would u suggest?

[@51Dss]

Cool bike - bad-a and classy

[@Dinoxt12]

Good Video...Thanks

[@SupaNautica]

very nice

[@superfloyd1]

How much is it selling for?

[@2413scorpion]

God here we go with speedo change jeeze looks like the 1200 custom

[@craigknight2157]

Thanks mate.

[@alexandremagliaro3542]

Moto linda aqui no Brasil não cocigo uma harly dessa nunca

[@ShadowLancer128]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat dude the license plate being hung out from the bike like normal is actually one of my biggest pet peeves about the bike. i really wish they'd just stick it under the taillight or keep it sideways like they have on yours. in a way, they did you a small favor putting it sideways. this way it doesn't jut out from the bike, creating any wasted aerodynamics. (albeit, they could've put it under the taillight, which is really where it belongs.)

[@prickleysnead9568]

Very nice.

[@bradelford363]

Look up Softail Breakout with Stage 2 on youtube. Video of my Breakout with the Bassani 2-1.

[@4x4Tinny]

BTW if you want to pick on mine search for "Brothers got taste" posted by me. youtube wont let me post a link in here. :(

[@ysk9818]

It ir great one!

[@codystowe4844]

Awesome, thanks.

[@4x4Tinny]

Don't let it get to ya mate. it's standard practice for Victory and those who make the mistake of buying one to try and bag out a Harley to justify their stupidity in owning a TRANSEXUAL motorcycle. Glad you like your ride man. BTW the "skull" cap is called a "Willy G" . Best thing about your Harley bro? it'll last as long as you will. enjoy!

[@fabioribeiro6787]

Awesome!!!!

[@henrygabriel9951]

Have 2015 for sale in Pennsylvania. 7500 miles.

[@usename68]

wooooow awesome harley
