Default Road Glide Bars on Breakout?

2015 road glide stock bars on a breakout (2015)?

I am looking for a reduced reach bar but cannot afford to spend over $200. I can not seem to find a used CVO bar in black.
I found a stock black bar from a 2015-2019 road glide. From what I have found on searches i Think it is a 1.25 bar. Has anyone used this without having to purchase new lines?
Thanks in advance
LP

Don't know about the breakout, but it worked perfect on the better half's fat boy s. She loved the fit and they looked like they belonged on the bike.

I tried putting a set on the 2014 Road King I owned before the Fat Boy. They are 1 1/4". The problem is the Road Glide has a unique brake and clutch mounts and the 1" part of the handlebar is longer than traditional bars. I tried cutting them down but never could get it the way I would like them. I do like the height and wrist angle. I ended up getting a set of Khrome Werks 10" Bobber apes. I'll probably get another set of those for the Fat Boy.

Thanks for that info. I guess I will try to be patient and find a used CVO bar.

Not saying it can't be done. I just didn't like the results. Also I forgot the TBW notches have to be made if you cut them down and if I remember correctly the slots for internal wiring are a little different. I still have the bars and would give them to you if I could. They are chrome but could be powder coated.
