Handlebars

I friend of mine gave me a handlebar that he said originally came on the FXR. It is a bit bigger. Should I change it out?

If you like it and your cables are long enough then go for it.

100% up to you, screw what everyone else thinks, It's your bike. You can't appease everyone.

I like my mini apes. But be ready to change your cables. Your's look short. I swapped 10" buck horns for 10" regular and had to pull back my bars so the cables worked. But I like them pulled back so it all worked out for me.
