I think they look good but I like the stock bars. I would like to ride one with the apes just to see how the ride is. We don't want all of the Breakouts to look the same.

What do you think?
It's all about your choice, screw what everyone else thinks. IMHO

Ha...Thanks Freak Show!
I expected some push back...but there seems to be more people than I thought who do NOT like messing with the theme of that bike.
Oh well - to each his own...I just thought I'd throw them out there and see what people thought. I've read quite a few threads of guys wondering about putting apes on it...so here is my example.
The risers are from Thunderbike.

lots of people do different things to change the entire look of their bikes, yet all you do is change the bars and they give you a wrath of crap for it. they look good on there, the bars themselves look cool.

what bars are they and what else did you go with to make them work. Looks good edit ... just saw the risers are from thunderbike. did you do the install yourself, if so how was it?
