One of their customers took it (a 7.7FX I think) for a test-ride and decided he was leaned over too far. So they got him an uncut fork and asked him how high he wanted the bars. Ge ended up with it spaced all the way to the top, then had a riser added on top of that. You can actually grab the spacers and turn them around.

Then he asked for that weird handlebar that has that beam going across it. The beam accepts lights, bells, whistles, etc, all too-free.

The thing looks outright dangerous to me, but apparently it took them a while to talk the customer out of it. If the guy wants a setup like that, he probably belongs on a 'bent.
