Wide rear wheel, slim 21-inch at the front – and the new designed 23-spoke wheels of the stock version make it even harder to “say goodbye” to them than the previously installed popular “Breakout” wheels – which is why the owner of this “Breakout” also decided to keep the stock wheel set, but have it again completely gloss black powder coated! The stock rear swingarm allows for a 260 Metzeler tire to be installed for the stock 240 – which can be performed with a Rick’s tailend conversion! At Rick’s Motorcycles workshops, they’ve developed a certain “Breakout Routine” for the Milwaukee Eight-powered FXBRS that was adapted to the 2023 model year without problems. Result: with little effort, the 2023 “Breakout” can also be transformed into an exciting “Dragstyle Lowrider”, but it is the “Blackout” adaptation that takes this particular bike to a completely different level!

The Rick’s Motorcycles “Breakout” tailend kit is a conversion kit at an advantageous price: Including all necessary parts such as steel fender, seat base plate, tank cover, mounting hardware and the matching tail section mounting kit, the owner already receives an extremely refined “Breakout” that is an eyecatcher. The handcrafted steel tailend attaches “bolt-on” to the stock frame installation points, an Air Suspension operates the rear swingarm suspension, and the handlebar-mounted switch lowers the tailend for a cool look when the bike is parked. The GRP seat base plate is adapted to the new, enlarged tank and is upholstered to the rider’s needs with an appropriate “custom” leather cover.

Rick’s sophisticated GRP lamp mask and tight-fitting metal front fender complement the sinister look on the front end, as stainless steel handlebars and risers have already switched to the “dark side.” A Rick’s fork cover kit conceals the downtubes, now completely hidden, alternatively they could have been DLC-coated as on other Rick’s custom projects.
New in the ever-expanding Rick’s program, these stylish fork covers are available not just for current M8 Softail models, but also for “Twin Cam” and V-Rod. More versions coming up. A new Rick’s customizing option which considerably upgrades the look of any front end in almost “bolt-on” fashion – without the need to take the fork itself apart to have components plated or anodized. For improved rider comfort, Rick’s proven “AK 4.7” replacement pegs are mounted and the ergonomically perfect Rick’s “Good Guys” grips give a secure feel in any riding situation. If you’re looking for a tail light or turn signal on this bike, you’ll have to take a very close look. State-of-the-art LED technology makes it possible: Kellermann “Atto” turn signals on Rick’s mounting brackets in front and the sophisticated 3-in-1 brake / taillight / turn signal combinations at the rear remain almost invisible.
