"Biggest Mistake You'll Ever Make"

So, I've been riding my 2012 T100 for a year now, have put on 4800 miles. It's been an ongoing process to modify this ride, as you can all relate to, I'm sure.

The latest mod has been regarding handlebars. I've recently acquired the stock Thruxton bars, (had 'em powder coated black), and am considering going with the cafe look.

My (very experienced) buddy cautioned me against doing this. Aside from his quote in the subject line, he also added, "you'll put it down, for sure."

So, now I'm wondering if perhaps I need more time in the saddle before "dropping my posture."

Anyone have experience going from cruise posture to cafe posture? (I'm not considering rear sets, just yet.)

@BalancePoint - I couldn't agree more. Changing the bike up early in the year will provide me with several months of adjusting, before heading to the Cambria mash up in August.
