I have had handlebars made to my design before on other bikes in the past and I might decide to go that route at some point, but i'm not driven enough to spend the time and money at this stage.
I have also been considering doing a cut and shut on the stock touring bars because I think that they could give me the geometry I would ideally like just by taking an inch or two out of the rise/height.
The cut out area would be in the large diameter zone of the bars, so the cut and shut can accommodate a sleeve inside the tube in order to ensure structural integrity.
That solution will be less costly than making new bars from scratch....but more committing obviously.
