Man I went through the same thing... I wanted the bars to move also. Problem being that u can't run your cables through the bars.. well ya can but it looks like **** or is really expensive. Also to be comfortable they need to be at least twelve inches high. You can find high risers at death squad mc! But once again can't run cables through twelve inch risers.

Let me know what ya come up with.
