I think the innovation in adjustable bars is the reasoning behind a lot of riders switching to an adjustable setup. Convertibars used to be the only option, and they were too spendy for most riders, and the top knuckle cracking didn't offer confidence in the product. Currently, there are several companies now making extremely stout billet setups that all range in a price category much lower than Convertibars retail for. Granted....they don't have the adjustable sweep, but most prefer zero or 7degree anyway.....and the fixed sweep bars are much stronger. As we know, aftermarket triple clamps used to offer us a road to a higher clip-on height, where now...stock triples can be retained, and virtually infinite bar positions can be reached, at a much lower price, with the the new adjustables on the market.
That's my take on the increase in popularity of adjustables.
