Breakout Handlebars
I want to change my bars to something similar to the stock black bars but angled more towards me. Don't want to change cables or the fab looking risers and nothing shorter or much higher.
Has anyone done this? If so where did you get them?
Thanks

I think Da-Rza did Trask V-line 4.5", I could be wrong. He has a great thread in this section about his Breakout.

I actually didn't mind the stock bars either.. granted, over only 350 miles, ~220 in a day. I'm not sure my back will like consistently being in that position though. I'm following Da-Rza's route, I think.
Thanks guys.
I think the stock bars and risers are a fundamental part of the whole bad *** Breakout look. If I could just bend them a few degrees closer then that would be perfect. But I will probably just live with them. I see you can buy 1.5" or 1.75" riser extensions on eBay so may look at those. Has anyone fitted these? Only seen close up pics so I'm not sure how they look.

For the time being I bought (haven't received yet) some 1" chromed spacers from the Ebay seller you mentioned. Preferred to go on 1" in order to have cables not too stretched (probably no need to cut zip ties either) and they look better.
Then I'm actually projecting, cooperating with a local CNC machine shop, some risers specifically designed for our BO.
They'll be about 1" (max 1,25") longer but...SLOTTED! HD was used to sell some slotted risers for older models and they were really bada**. On BO they'd match many slotted parts and details, looking very nice both in chrome and in contrast cut finish. It's an idea still at "concept phase" but I'm pretty positive it'll be done.
Just an example to give a rough idea of how they'll look like...

I love the drag bar look but I hate them because they're too damn wide. If I had the money, I'd get taller, STRAIGHT risers and get a bar that's 6" shorter on each end. But I don't have the money, so I'm stuck with them.

2-3"shorter would be enough for me even if my piece of cake would be a T-bar, like HD Street Slammer but it'd a complicated and expensive mod due to tach relocation, etc...
But I'll be fully satisfied if I'll manage to have those slotted risers CNC machined.

Glad you like the idea, I'll keep you updated on the w.i.p. of this project.
