My riser bars are 60cm end-to-end, and there is (are?) 3cms of spacers under the stem. I like the bike set up the way it is, for the riding I'm doing on it. I have my road bike when I want a more aggressive position and more speed. This bike is for sitting up high and cruising in style at a nice leisurely pace. So I like the width of the bars and the rise, and don't really want to drop the stem below the spacers (if that's what you were going to suggest). I was hoping to replicate the fit as it is now, but with stiffer components.

OT, but there are a few guys here who attempt to ride to Mt. Fuji, climb up it, climb back down it, and cycle back to Tokyo all within 24 hours. That kind of 'fun' is not for me.
