It's been a LONG time since I've ridden with those kinda levers but I'm sure my thumbs would be rather displeased if I tried to ride on those non-existent "hoods".

I'm not sure what part of the setup you're targeting in the pic. Lever placement or bar angle.

For more comfy hoods, Cane Creek makes some levers that have big ol' slabs of hood for your hands to rest on that clicky levers have. They come with black hoods also: Scr-5
