I have the Apex bars but have not used the Convertibars. According to their site the Convertibars look like they will be fast to adjust but I can't see that the Apex bars will be any slower. I wonder how many folks actually change height once installed.

I have the 3" riser set and know that they raise the bar height 1" above the stock SV clip on height. Therefore, I would guess the 4" bars will get you 2" up. For the 3" set you will need stock + 2" longer throttle cables but the stock clutch cable will just work. If you use the 4" riser you will need stock + 3" throttle cables and at least stock + 1" longer clutch cable. It sort of depends on where you end up placing the bars fore/aft but these cable dimensions are very close to what you will need.

The Apex set is very good in terms of quality, adjustability and parts are available and easily replaced. I would seriously consider them.

 

I would go with the svrp clip ons unless you wanted the extra height. For anything bigger then 2.5 inches you need new clutch line from an N and longer custom throttle cable. Also N length brake lines.

 

I have the apex and all though on the fly adjustment may not be that fast as there are so many ways to adjust them but I do like them so far. They also were cheaper with the 4inch rise than a pair of convertibars if I am not mistaken. Have not tried convertibars for myself though.

 

A 6mm allen wrench will make all adjustments on the Convertibars and, with a little practice, you can make radical changes in less than 10 minutes. The collet that adjusts the hand angle also provides some vibration reduction and is almost indestructable. You can get all the information and products you need to realize the full range of adjustability at convertibars.com.
