Default Breaout Handlebar Question

Has anyone with a Breakout put found a way to put handlebars with smaller centers on our risers? Is this even possible? Found a pair of Ape Hangers I really like at Sturgis but they had the smaller centers, the guy said he could make me a set that would work but I dont know how long that would take.

You can use the wild1 1" to 1.25" adapter.

Either find an adapter like 24v listed or buy different risers.

The CVO handlebars are the same as the extended reach bars Harley sells for the Breakout. They are 1.25" bars, same as the stock ones, but they are much taller.

The trouble with this is the speedo mount is incorporated in the risers. So either you ditch the speedo, find a way to relocate it, or find new risers that are 1" and incorporate the speedo. A set of sportster risers, or some older dyna ones may work as they have the speedo mount and are 1".
