Harley-Davidson FXSB Breakout - can you tour on one?

[@keystonedaytrip238]

I have a ‘17 FXSB Breakout from new . I love it 🖤 . I think it’s the best looking Harley made . After a full day of riding I’m beat to hell , it’s brutal . That being said , I wouldn’t change a thing . I’d buy it & ride it all over again !

[@MakaJerycho]

Subtle changes - better pegs, sportier tyres and raise the bars slightly on 1 1/2 risers and you’ll feel less beaten up :)

[@Willy2Gunz]

I put 10” Apes on my 19 Breakout114 and I absolutely love it. Feels so much better

[@southsidehitmen]

I got a 2014 H-D fxsb Softail Breakout. 🦅🏍️🇺🇸 I’m liking the color as well as the add ons on this bike for sure! 🫡 These definitely make you ready for long distance rides!!! 🏍️ 🛣️ 💯 👍

[@MakaJerycho]

I swapped the front screen to a Memphis shades bullet fairing And toured 3000 miles across Europe. Absolutely perfect 👌🏻

Maka that is a great video I live in the west Texas Chihuhuan Desert just south of Marfa. Anyway I don’t zip around to anything close by most of my rides are over 200 mile round trip. So to finally see it can be made comfortable is fantastic, I love the bike. Thanks!

[@MakaJerycho]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻thank you. Send me some pics of your desert rides sometime. I’m on Instagram

[@europan48bobber40]

i started off touring on a yam sr125 going to rallies, remember going to one in devon but popped into plymouth on the way distance of 303 miles, i had an average speed of 30mph i think it was 10 going up hill , bike was fully laden and i weighed about 17 stone(front row forward). couldn't keep up with the lorries going up hill,fun times

[@scootjockey]

I have the 2019 with HD panniers and yes you can.I changed the seat with gel inserts leather ,footpegs and of course the handelbars lanky fücker.

you have seen me now on my 48,hope to get back on an ironhead chop soon and 2 up touring have an ultra limited low

[@kaylera1]

That's almost my exact setup for my FatBoy as well. Only thing I really wish I had was cruise control.

I like mods to make it touring ready. Gonna get those risers and bags too. 👍

[@MakaJerycho]

The risers are 100% effective

[@dartaxis]

What risers are those? Not seeing anything like that online.

Great video! Perfect set up! Thanks for sharing!

Nice one Maka , useful info . Keep safe Bro.

[@DeluxeChimp]

I can't tell you how many people told me I was on the wrong bike when I toured around the country on my FXDL-S. (that I put a factory Street Bob seat on) I'd tell them I didn't know I needed a sofa with a chest of drawers and tea cupboard bolted to it to tour. 🤣

[@MakaJerycho]

Absofuckinglutely 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@timchamberlain6094]

Started off touring on an MZ250 when I were a lad. Now tour on an Evo Fatboy. Throw-overs, army kitbag.

Tim Chamberlain I need a kit bag to throw on my Sportster :)

[@foxglove8836]

Hi, yeah i'll make you some Banana bread :-) I have a 1983 suz 400cc i done 5 country's on that bike and all over brit, I need to get it in a shop and get some work done on her. soon we are back to normal i'll be getting that done. No rush i have my other bikes to play a round on, hopefully sooner then later. You take care.

[@MakaJerycho]

Woohooo

[@typolt14]

Hey man, where did you buy the bar risers? I’m looking for those as well. Did you have to adjust the wires? Mainly speaking of the ones going to the speedometer...? Thanks much

[@MakaJerycho]

I got them on a Facebook group. Breakout owners or something like that. Tbh a decent machine shop should be able to knock something together on a lathe. 1.5” extension. No need to alter any cables

[@bjrnundrum4693]

Hey Maka! This video was right about just what I was looking for. Im in a stage where Im wondering to swap to a Street Glide or just continuing riding my kick ass Breakout. I love the breakout in every way exept for touring. But I think you just changed my mind, you my friend got a great setup! What kind of sadlebags and mounting system do you got there, any partnumbers? And Im also interesting in what brand/productnumber that sweet windshield has aswell.

[@MakaJerycho]

The windscreen and the saddlebags along with the fitting kit are all Harley Davidson. In the 2017 catalogue. If you pop into the dealer they should be able to find it. The windscreen is a 19” smoked quick fit sport screen from harley for the breakout

[@MakaJerycho]

You do NOT need to swap the breakout just to tour! I’ve done cities, cross country, off road, rural roads and adventure trails on my Breakout. Don’t sacrifice something you love if it can do it.

[@bjrnundrum4693]

@@MakaJerycho Thanks for the reply, Ill pop by the local dealer to burn some money then! Yeah Ive been around everywhere myself, I really love the bike. So I figger if I just swap back to the stock rearfender when touring, I actually can bring luggage aswell, not having to have a backpack (Running a short custom rearfender normally). And after I found your video Ill definitely going for sadlebags and a windshield. Thanks again.

[@Deathstar111978]

im just about to change from a BMW GS to a Breakout. Doing tours is something i have questioned if it would be doable. Also, i hear HD are discontinuing the Breakout. Do you think thats an issue, with regards to getting aftermarket parts?

[@MakaJerycho]

I tour on my breakout. Granted you won’t really be doing adventure trails on one as they are quite low. As for parts, most independent garages have survived years repairing old discontinued harleys. I can’t see it being a problem :)))

[@Davyjr83]

What headlight bulb did you go with? Direct replacement or did you have to add or change the resistor? Having a hard time finding just the bulb to replace

[@Davyjr83]

Found one on JP cycles, 6k

[@MakaJerycho]

It was an led bulb I found on eBay. Had to take the fan off the heat sink to fit in

[@H-D1]

Hey mate do you find that windscreen keeps the wind of your head/ face or the next size up would Be better ?

[@MakaJerycho]

I’m 6ft The 19” screen buffets off the top of my head. Prob could do with going taller

[@H-D1]

@@MakaJerycho awesome mate thanks for the reply

[@mauriciomontalvo7406]

What kind of mounting kit you used for installing saddlebags and sissy bar on the same spot? Thank you!

[@MakaJerycho]

There’s a kit from Harley themselves for the breakout for the saddlebags It includes a mount as well for a sissy bar. Best to speak to a H-D dealer and go through their catalogue or parts
