What's the REAL Story Behind this Custom BLACK Harley-Davidson Breakout Motorcycle?

LIVE TO RIDE – Custom 2024 Harley-Davidson Breakout by East Coast Customs (Mick’s Build) We sit down with Mick from East Coast Customs to check out the latest Live To Ride cover bike – a seriously tough, one-off 2024 Harley-Davidson Breakout. From the matte gold “spitty” touches and custom guards, to air ride suspension and a hard-riding Stage 1 tune that’s smoking other Breakouts (and even V-Rods), this bike is all about being different. Mick walks us through the story behind the build, the accidental parts that turned into custom gold, and his big plans to turn this into a one-of-a-kind Breakout bagger. If you love Aussie-built Harleys, custom touches, and real-world talk from a builder who actually rides hard, you’ll want to watch this one. ⏱ Key Moments 00:00 – Intro – Latest Live To Ride cover bike + meet Mick from East Coast Customs 00:08 – The bike – 2024 Breakout, when Mick bought it & why he wanted something different 00:23 – Custom vision – “I don’t like having anything the same as everyone else” 00:31 – The ‘spitty’ touch & gold details – Matte gold vs gloss gold and why it stands out 00:39 – Getting a unique colour mixed – Working with the painter to create a custom gold 00:52 – First reaction – How good it looked once the gold was on 01:01 – Front guard story – From wrong part to custom win 01:09 – Supplier sends 21" instead of 23" guard 01:18 – Painted, wrong size… and no returns 01:26 – Cutting, shutting & modifying – Making the 21" guard fit the Breakout 01:34 – End result – A front guard everyone will want because it’s different 01:36 – Rear guard story – Turning a forgotten part into a custom piece 01:42 – Finding the bare guard on a shelf at East Coast Customs 01:47 – “I’m taking that” moment – Deciding to do something with it 01:52 – Welding, modifying & fitting – Creating a trick-looking rear end 02:00 – On the road – Riding to the shoot and how the bike sounds 02:04 – Stage 1 only – Engine is basically stock apart from the Stage 1 02:09 – Break-in method – Heavy load for the first 500km 02:20 – Result: a freak motor? – Pulls hard, cracks, and outruns other Breakouts 02:23 – Smoking other bikes – “It smokes other Breakouts… even V-Rods” 02:31 – Reactions from other riders – “What have you done to that?” 02:34 – Air ride suspension – Form and function 02:37 – How the air ride works – Ride it on the deck or up in the air 02:41 – Everyday usability with air ride 02:43 – Future plans: Breakout bagger 02:45 – Tease of the bag set-up back at the shop 02:51 – Turning a Breakout into a bagger – Mick’s excited for the first one done 02:57 – Loves baggers, not so much Road Kings – Why he’s creating a unique bagger 03:03 – “Breakout bagger” concept – Something totally different on the road 03:11 – More builds coming – This Breakout as a rolling advert for East Coast Customs 03:16 – Closing chat – Appreciation, more custom projects on the way 🛠 Custom Highlights from Mick’s 2024 Breakout 2024 Harley-Davidson Breakout – bought new, built to be unique Custom matte gold “spitty” accents – not your typical gloss gold Modified 21" front guard – wrong part turned into a custom feature Custom rear guard – rescued from storage, welded and reshaped to suit Stage 1 kit – tuned and broken in hard for strong real-world performance Proven on the road – pulls hard, “smokes” other Breakouts and even V-Rods Air ride suspension – ride it slammed or lifted, depending on mood Future plan: first-ever Breakout bagger build by East Coast Customs 📣 Support Aussie Custom Builders If you’re into unique Harley builds and real riders who push their bikes, make sure you: LIKE the video SUBSCRIBE to Live To Ride COMMENT what you’d do differently on this Breakout – paint? wheels? bars?
