I did this on my winter bike.
I had bought a swept bar for my wife's bike, and she hated it. So I put the swept bar on my winter-adapted mountain bike and gave her the flat bar, which she likes. The flat bars hurt my wrists. Just rotating my hands, and moving them back a bit, is much more comfortable for me.
A slight drawback is that you might have to get longer cables.
