The only one having a problem with it seems to be you! Or why are you bashing people just expressing their .02? If you can't accept anyone having a different opinion or taste than you, just move on!

I agree a little with what everyone has said. I think those style apes along with Rocker B's apes look good on a Breakout. I also think apes do change the whole style of the Breakout. I have seen 10" apes that look nice as well. If I were to go with any, that would be the size I would go with on a Breakout. Just suddle enough not to change the entire style of the bike. But that is what makes each bike our own.

I like the way they look on your bike, I think the tapered lines towards the headlight work well with the front end. I'm not the biggest fan of the sharp angles on the bars, but that's just me. I like em on your bike.

We have both screwed up original styling. I put apes on a train. But who cares its your bike. Its you who gets the privlege of seeing it everyday and riding it. I think it looks great. I break a lot of harley rules. I enjoy color vs black. Chrome is not my favorite accessory. But I still own 2 harleys and I ride at least 1 time a month all year. Even when the high is gonna be in the 20s. We r bikers that's all that matters.

Any plans to move the speedometer to the tank? That is the number one thing I dislike about a Breakout. Either go with something like a Softail Custom dash speedometer setup or if you want to stay low profile, maybe a Wide Glide speedometer and dash could work. I think that would look better with the apes. If not, mount the speedo on the handlebar clamp, sticking up ahead of the bars like a Sportster.
