|  ConvertiBARS Hey, has anyone seen these before? They look like they might be a really cool option!! I know that when I'm riding those long straight highway miles, I wish that I could sit up a bit straighter to help out my back...but I didn't really want to get risers because there are times when a like to crunch down and go through the twisties... http://www.convertibars.com/index.cfm Check out the video by clicking the link that says "Click Here to see ConvertiBARS in Action"

 | The idea is nice. I don't know that I would trust the stability of something that moves around so easily. ReGina you just need squirm around more! Can I get a video of that?

| In all honesty though...those bars look like they'd be a novelty that would fast become a nuisance in very short order.

| I think they'd be ideal for track day/street riders or anyone who wants to modify their stock riding position. All the reviews I've read say that they're a high quality product. They're not cheap, though.
