Breakout and small people friendly handlebar?
What's the best handlebar for small people? Well she isn't that small (5'8") but she is having problem with the handle bar reach.
We've already replaced the forward control with a reduced reach now we need to get a handlebar that has reduced reach as well.
Obviously we don't wanna buy a handle bar only to find out it doesn't do what it does so do you guys have experience with reduced reach handlebar for a Breakout?
Couldn't find it on google or here so we had to make this post sorry about that

I have no experience with the Breakout, but have a look at the Wild One Chubby Wo560. It claims something like 14 inches of pullback.
In fact have a look at this web page. It doesn't show a Breakout but look at "WO560 on an FLSTF". When you get there watch the animation and you can see a representation of stock bars verses the WO560. It seems to be quite a reach advantage.

Have you considered apes? I'm 5' 10 with 16" Carlini apes on my Breakout and love them. 12-14" might be better at 5'8 and you can pull them back more than I have mine. I know the looks not for everybody, but riding the Breakout with apes is so much more enjoyable that I would keep them even If I didn't like the look. It completely changed my riding experience for the better, bike is soooo much easier to handle!! My Rocker C would benefit too but leaving them for the look only!!

Yes we did but she would prefer to have a bar that is curved back towards her as well so she could do O turns
