Has anyone else had problems with the CVO Breakout ?
I got my 2013 breakout in October after waiting 10 months for delivery, I live in Malaysia and also have a Deuce which I have put 320,000 Kilometers on in the ten years I have owned it, riding every day to work and doing about 3 to 4 big rides round asia each year. The breakout was supposed to be its replacement but I am now having second thoughts. I notice that in heavy monsoon rain the handling is really bad with the bike hydroplaning with its wide back tyre. The front mud guard is too short as in rain or on wet roads the spray is splashed back onto the headlight and at higher speed it goes straight onto my helmet visor. The seat has an indentation with the Harley logo which fills with water if you ride or park in the rain so your (EDIT) is permanatley wet. The foot break pedal is very difficult to get to in a hurry as you have to bend your leg round the air filter and the filter gets really clogged up in heavy rain. Although I love the bike I wish more thought had been put into rider comfort rather than just looks. What do you guys think?
