I kind of did something like that on my P8, at the ends of my modified bullhorns. The extra thickness works, although I am a bit above the brake levers at the most comfortable point. I also wear a set of
padded gloves. Makes all the difference. My hands go numb easily, even on MTB straight bars. I like the gloves. They're fingerless, mesh backed, and have a terry patch to wipe sweat out of your eyes. The open fingers work great for brake feel. No loss of steering feel either.,,,,BD
Mine are like this, only the back is black mesh, not tan. My hands never go numb anymore....
