Center the bar bends around the stem (ignore the outboard ends of the bar for a moment. Now take off the grips and measure center-to-each-end. Did someone lop a half-inch or an inch off only one end of the bar? Sometimes stuff gets swapped out on the showroom floor (higher/loewer rise, etc) and maybe someone had taken those home and only lopped one end. Hey, I'm wild-guessing here.
Oh, and I'm not here. You didn't hear it from me.
