To the open rear end of the bars , Add bartape or long foam sleeves to the new bars

the figure-8 bend trekking bars out of Asia are about $25

drop bars means new brake levers and cables .. fit of shifter is different too..


You could just add Ergon GR5 grip/barend combinations too, to the bars you have ..
