Apes v T-bar on Breakout or in general...
I currently ride w/ 14" apes (pictured in 1st). There are days when I like the look of apes better, and there are days when I like t-bars better.
Who has experience w/ t-bars and apes on Breakouts or in general on the same bike?
I'd like to know the pros and cons of riding and handling w/ t-bars. I've never had them but imagine that my hand position will be at least a little narrower on t-bars. How is riding and swerving/turning? My hangers are stable, but are t-bars more stable because of the way they're mounted (less possibility of forward/backward movement)?

Need some help from you Breakout owners. Is the exhaust on a BO the same as other softails, with just more offset or a wider bracket to accommodate the wider swingarm? I have a 2001 Fatboy with a 240 backend and have always had to add crazy amount of spacers between bracket and frame to clear my swingarm. My bike got hit a few weeks ago and I need to replace the exhaust. Wondering if an aftermarket exhaust for the BO would mount up to frame at same point on the Fatboy, and if there are other bends in headers that would cause it not to fit? Any help is appreciated. If not possible, I'll buy a FLST exhaust and add spacers. Thanks.

What to do with Breakout Wheels? Something Cool
I have just about thrown away all of the stock parts off of my Breakout. It would pain me to throw away wheels. Any ideas of something cool to do with the wheels? Make tables out of them, mount them on the garage wall, etc? No one is buying stock parts. Any ideas?

got the new Thunderbike risers and installed them this morning. (I know people love the apes - so no further comments needed! haha) the question I have is do I need to use some loctite on the upper riser bolts? I went for a quick run after the install, and at the end I could feel movement in the bars. or do I just need to tighten it down with a ratchet instead of an allen key. (for more leverage - as it was about as tight as I could get with the allen wrench)

Agreed, looks badass they make the only 2-1 that I like.
Which Two Brothers exhaust is that? The Comp or the Megaphone? I can’t tell the difference on the site between the two.
For the Breakout they only show the slip-ons, and the 2-1 setups for Dynas.

I think the Breakout is meant to be a bit obnoxious!
