The reason I ask is because the width at the hoods is 42 and the drops flare to a whopping 54(!!!!!).

I think I want a 44 width at the hoods, but I really dont want the drops to be any wider. Im hoping the drop width stays constant as the hood with gets wider.

-->My question would be if anyone has these bars in a 44, how wide are they at the drops?

I see this was posted a month ago, but I just got my Woodchippers. Yes, the are wider! I have the 44 cm Woodchippers, just installed on Monday. I ran down to measure, they are 24 inches (61cm) center-to-center at the barends. You should look at the Cowchippers to have less flare but some flare.

I LOVE my Woodchippers on the Pugsley!
