The position of the lever makes me look like a squid with it pointing way too level or "flat", rather than down, like I like it.

Does anyone have a suggested replacement bar that works?
Fat bars (1 1/8")?
Moose makes a Burleson bend bar and also an XC bend that are short already, and basically a very high CR High bend. I like the look of them, and have a pair that I'm going to try when I next change grips.

I like the TrailTech bar, but it came too long and I had to cut it off and drill it out to compensate for the length of the bark buster anchors.

The old favorite Pro Taper Hawkins High bend bars are now the Woods Hight bend and now are 32" wide. When cut down to size, I had to drill the ends on them, also. I couldn't believe that they had changed them.
