    welcome chop, cool bike man. (almost bought same bike 8 mths ago)
    Mate of mine just bought a 2014 cvo breakout and they don't have drag bars on it (this one didn't anyway-sure its factory though), much better riding posture than the standard breakout, does detract a little from the intended drag-bike look but still looks o.k. don't know about the cables though mate. Maybe check out the stealership about the bars.
    Risers would affect cables on the instrument panel also- being part of the centre clamp
    Brother-in-law has a standard breakout and he also finds the fatigue sets in quite quick with the seat and bar set-up as well. He wants to start with changing the bars too.........GOOD LUCK

     

    Have fun on the forum buddy, its a fucken funny place at times!!

    Funny HA HA..... not funny peculiar

    Regards FLIPDOG

    Welcome to the forum Chopper. Nice ride, I think the breakout is a slow burner ( meaning it has taken a while for that model to grow on me, but I'm still stuck on the look of the std Softail. 

    Anyhow, all the best in finding the right setup for your riding position, sounds like the fitter and turner knows a few tricks & probably be a cheaper and more practical alternative than someone over the counter would come up with. Some of those guys know f.a about bikes & rely pure and simply on their spare parts bible for an answer.

    Chopper, it was done for me many years ago with solid aluminum instead of steal. Worked a treat, looked like store bought product and cost nothing except a couple beers.

    The way you have described it, should work for you as it did for me.

    Just change the bars, mate. Have a look at Flanders bars out of the USA. They have a large range. I transformed my Roadie with a set of theirs. Brilliant!
