I just swapped a Syncros riser for a new Easton Monkey lite bar...the ML is wider....I now find that the ride is "sketchy",,,,tends to skip around....I am not comfortable and my steering is now too wide...find myself in the outside bushes alot......anyone have insight into this whole thing?

Don't worry-give it some time, you'll get used to it!
Been there, done that!

Ride with patience

The handling of your bike should be better, try to ride for a period of time with this lenght.
You can always cut your handlebar later!

cheers,
