Trekking Bars and Bar-End Shifters
Is it possible to install bar end shifters on a set of trekking (butterfly) bars?

Let me make the question a little clearer--is there some sort of adapter kit available for bar ender shifters that has mounts which would allow a person to mount bar end shifters on the part of the back end of the trekking bar (directly above the head tube)?
Thanks for any help on this.

I had just basic thumb shifters mounted right up next to the stem. It worked great.
