Harley Davidson FXBRS Softail Breakout 114 2020 Service Manual

Cycle World has called the Breakout "the most radical of all Softails," and the 2020 model carries that reputation forward largely unchanged — Harley made no significant updates for the year, letting the drag-strip-inspired styling and low-slung stance speak for itself. It's the most raked-out, custom-styled cruiser in the brand's Softail lineup, built for riders bringing dragstrip attitude to the street.

Power comes from the Milwaukee-Eight 114, delivering a claimed 119 lb-ft of torque at 3,000 rpm through a 6-speed gearbox with belt final drive, feeding a massive low-profile 240mm rear Michelin Scorcher tire. Up front, a slender 130mm tire on a 21-inch wheel keeps the profiling-first stance intact — skinny enough that Harley fits just a single 300mm front disc, since anything larger would overpower the contact patch. Despite the committed drag-bike posture, with forward-mounted fists and feet, the latest Softail chassis delivers genuinely usable suspension travel: over five inches up front, 3.4 inches at the rear.

Styling details lean hard into the muscle-car theme: gloss black cast aluminum wheels, a riser-mounted digital gauge, and 2-into-2 staggered exhausts. Dimensions run 93.3 in. long with a 34-degree rake and 5.7 in. of trail, shipping at 648 lbs (672 lbs in running order). 2020 colors included Vivid Black, Midnight Blue, Barracuda Silver, River Rock Gray Denim, Performance Orange, Stiletto Red, and a two-tone Zephyr Blue/Black Sunglo.
