Default Breakout Apes

Finally got my bars on my Breakout. I know some people aren't crazy about apes on a breakout, but I love how they turned out.
What do you think?

I think they look good but I like the look of apes. I don't care for the ride with apes any more but I deal with it.

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.

I agree apes on a BO just don't look right but it's your bike so you do whatever you want to 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.

Apes are about the quickest way to ruin the styling theme of a Breakout.

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.
