Default Mustache bars adjustable vs rigid mount

I am wanting to add mustache bars and want to know pros and cons of adjustable or rigid. Anyone have pictures of either installed?

I would go rigid. You can always add pegs to it and adjust them to your likings, plus it will protect the bike if you ever drop it.

Like the protection, but always hated the looks more. I think it goes back to my early days of riding when people would put these big ugly loops of streel around the front of their bike (I had the smaller case guards on my Kawasaki). But these look great on your bikes. I think it's the shape of the mustache bars that does it. Still wouldn't put one of those loop shaped bars on, but if I can score an Ebay bargain mustache bar, they're going on my Deluxe.
