Thruxtified Scrambler?

Okay, I made the mistake of test riding a Thruxton and loved it. I have an '08 Scrambler. Are there any handlebars out there that I can get to mimick the riding posistion of the Thrux? I injured my back some time ago, and allthough I think the posistion will be fine, I want to ride for a bit before doing the whole sell/trade...buy new bike thing!

any help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks
shannon

oh yeah, it would be great if I would not have to get any new cables, etc. to try this out....

You can always go with some rearsets and clip ons to go on the Scrambler if you like the Thrux so much . I've also seen drag bars on a Scrambler with looks pretty good with its gauge cluster . There are some days I wish my Thruxton was a Scrambler ( especially any long mileage trip )but in your case you can have the best of both worlds .

09 Thruxton's come with -ahem- M-Bars in 1". Those same bars are available in 7/8" to fit the Scrambler. There's also black versions of my Super Bars and Western Bars (in 7/8" only).

Wouldn't call it Thruxified, but definitely moving in the cafe direction, here's my Scrambler:
