I found these on the net the other day and was wondering if anyone has used them. They seem like an ideal solution, allowing upright posture around town and drop them down for the twisties. Any thoughts?

I have the convertibars on my Thruxton. They were installed by the PO. I love em. They have endless configurations, height and forward/aft. They are well constructed, with black anodized CNC machined clip-on brackets. I have some pics if you'd like me to email them to you...not sure how to post them on this board. Hope this helps.

Oregon,

I noticed on their web site it mentioned that it may be necessary to buy some type of headlight mounting adapter. Does that replace the stock headlight mounts? I hope not because I like the look of the twin aluminum arms much better than the black metal job of the Bonnies. Also, do you find that you adjust them often or do you tend to just leave them in the higher position all the time. I've thought about marking some type of lines for 2 or 3 positions (high for town, low for mountains or similar).

Thanks again for all the help!
