I don't like apes on a Breakout in general. IMO they negate the original character and style of the bike.
But it's your scoot so the only thing that matters is that you like it.

Thanks for the input guys!
When I first bought the breakout I thought apes would look terrible on it, and I thought it would ruin the lines of the bike. But it didn't take long with the drag bars for my back to realize it didn't like them.
I've seen some pretty terrible looking apes on a BO...but I thought the aggressiveness of the bars I ended up going with worked well with the bike.
I realize it is mostly subjective, but was just looking for some opinions.

Lol...wow..seems like you could have thrown in a IMO to soften that blow!
I do understand what you are saying...but really, I can't think of a single stock bike that I love from the factory...so maybe me and Harley differ on our taste of "themes".
I mean...I'm not sure Harley envisioned all these Cholos when designing the deluxe...but if you ask me, it's an upgrade.
