No problems with the adjustable brackets after 5-6 years.  I have poly
bushings for the trailing arms though.

VTR or Buckeye Triumphs (can't remember which) has a chart showing the
various configurations of the brackets and how they affect rear geometry.

However, the rubber bushings are cheap, $2-4 depending on the source, I
would swap out the bushings and put the adjustables back on rather than
messing with flipping and swapping out stock brackets.
