Thanks! If you want something similar, patience is key to find these parts (at an acceptable price). It was a good hunt :)

Rad! Those bars are sweet, I've been looking for compact bars like that with a 26 mm clamp dia. Do you like them?

Yeah they're definitely more comfortable than a classic bend while riding in the tops.
