soft hands to bend it... brake line i re routed the line... I did internal wires and soldered in my own wires... so i am not sure how long you will need to add to it to get this

What you want, and what may be comfortable for you may be two different sets of bars. My local indy suggested this:
Sit on the bike.
Close your eyes.
Throw your hands out and let them come to a natural position.
Open your eyes and see where they landed.
Have a friend measure.
Repeat it a few times to see if you consistantly land in the same area.
It sounds kind of corny but it's a good idea. At least you won't spend money on something you won't like.
This is how I ended up with 16's.

I did the same thing when sorting out my bars.
It may also help to hold onto a broom handle or something like simulating a set of bars.
Then as stated, measure the heigth and also the amount of pullback...should get you some numbers to compare when picking out bars.
