I just ordered a pair from a seller on ebay. I hope they're nice. His feedback is pretty good, and he was good about answering my questions. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...:X:RTQ:US:1123

Heifzilla, I'm so impressed that you did that yourself. I'm glad this thread was revived because I am starting to get numb hands and I may want to do the same thing.

Well my goodness, you were certainly thinking outside the box!
I think you'll enjoy those long rides even more now that you have your handlebars customized. And nice job wrapping the bars.

Just so I understand what I see in the photo - the portion of the bars where your shifters are located - are they above the stem at all or directly in line with the top of the stem?

I've been checking out touring bars and really wanted to change to them + XT trigger shifters. My meeting with my fitter is this Thursday, but I have noted that these bars are very large - they seem to fall into the 58-65cm range

My fitter may have other thoughts on this, but since I take a 48cm road bar, my thought is that these are just too wide for me
Such is life, there are other options for me.
One nice thing about touring bars, as they are not so popular in the US, they are quite affordable!
