Default T-Bars on an '18 Breakout

Has anyone done this? I'd really like to see photos if you have, please. I've searched for images, but nothing. I can't even find an image of an older Breakout with T-Bars. Just want to get an idea of how it looks before deciding if i want to try it. Thanks.

Finally found some pics. Not quite what i'm looking for, i'm after a straight rise, but close enough to make me think what i want will look good.

While I like the style, the bars in the o.p. are too fat and just don't look right. Why would somebody strive for a slimmer look for the bike and then slap on a set of big fat *** bars? No sense of style or continuity I guess.

I agree; the bars are too fat for the rest of the bike.

It does look good, but every one is different. Do you want the same reach you have? more or less? Higher or lower?
You need a bar (length preferred), a good buddy, tape measure......close your eyes, grab the bar and put it where it feels good to ride, buddy will measure roughly, EASY!

Good luck, ride safe

Cheers!

Bars in the pics are Burleigh 2" rollers, and i agree that they're too fat. I'm going to use 1.25" T-Bars, but haven't been able to find any images of a Breakout with this setup.
