I am going to look into putting the pullback risers that are on the standard Breakout on the CVO.   It looks like they should make the stock handlebars 3" taller and 2" closer.  On the standard, does anyone know if the tach is attached to the risers or the clamp?  I've heard both ways, but haven't taken time to find out for sure.  I might need to order the can that the tach sets in from the standard so I'll get the right angle when it's all back together.

If I don't go that route, I'm looking at going with some mini apes.  I think 10" on this bike will be plenty, maybe even less.  I saw a thread that Bassani had for the Breakout that looked like they had the bars from a CVO Convertible on and they looked really good.  I'm not sure what size bars are on a 12 Convertible?

Thoughts and suggestions are always appreciated on this forum.

I would love to go 10' apes, but don't want to spend all the money on the new cables that would need to go with it.

I'm guessing that a +4 brake and clutch would run somewhere around 200.  Bars would be 300 to 350.  Total somewhere around 500.  Then labor, but according to my wife, I'm worthless so that would be zero!

In that thread, I thought the bars looked too tall and too close when comparing the rake angle of the bike.  But that's just me.  12's wouldn't change it much, that's why I thought 10's.

I've ordered a set of 16" Hiballs from Burleigh Bars. If all goes will they should be fitted by the time I get back from holidays.

I think the Apes off the 2012 Convertible would be perfect! IMO
I love mine and they are so confortable,

I sat on a Wideglide with CVO Convertible bars the same day as the Breakout with 14" normal apes. From memory the CVO Convertible are about a 12". Felt to low for me so thats why I've gone with a simlar style but in a 16" with the Hiballs from Burleigh Bars.



Counting the days until I get back to pick up my bike... Hopefully the bars will have arrived and been fitted by Monday.

One thing you will have to take into great consideration is the seat height!
As you can see from my photo below, the Convertible has a low seat height that makes the bars higher when your sitting on the Bike!
You will have to try them on a breakout to see what the true height is when they are on the Bike and your in your riding position! also taking into consideration what risers you intend on fitting!
The riding position and height of the bars will differ a lot on most models!
