I put some extra bartape under the hood and did an extra loop of tape around the lever body to pad out the grip area.

See all that air under the straight-edge? That is the problem. And it would be worse without the extra padding under the hood. I don't know where on the bar I can put the levers to eliminate this space. The spots where the ruler touches are where the pressure hits my hands.
