convertibars or verlicchi risers

[wheelsucker]

first, I'm sorry, I know it has been dicussed out to wazoo, but does anyone have experience with both of these? or can anyone tell me the big differences between the two? They seem similar, but am wondering if one is better than the other as far as quality, performance, adjustability?

I can't speak for the Verlicchi, but the Convertiibars are very well built.

The bars are stainless and the clamps clamp beautifully...loosen one screw to move the bar.

very well designed.

Convertibar also has a selection of different angled bars availablle.

The only thing that I did not like is that it seems to vibrate a little more than the stock clip-ons...but that is the nature of bar extenders. the further out you go, the more the vibration.

Also Convertibar offer brake lines, clutch lines and throttle cables to extend the bars further.

And they sell bar-end weights to tame the vibration.

But I am happy with Napoleon mirrors and a cable limited height.

If I just replace the front brake lines, I could go up another inch.

The clutch and throttle cables can wait, for me, but Your Mileage May Vary.

FWIW if I could trade for Jean Marc's clip-ons, I would.

They won't come up as high, but they adjust very well to different angles.

Nice design.

Go for the ones from Jean Marc, I agree. I posted today the pictures of how they look on the Le Mans.
