Thanks again.
Call Bill. He will build you what you need.

I got a really good deal locally and wanted to do more than just wheels.

Definitely agree with Kowan. My bars are very similar to "Joe What"s bike. Once I install them let me know if its what you're looking for and I can give all the info or recommend different measurements.
