IMHO, you can get bar ends that are longer and offer more hand positions for way less than $50 - For example, http://www.jensonusa.com/store/produ...+Bar+Ends.aspx.

Here's a set of moustache bars for $20. If you decide you don't like them, then at least you're not out a huge chunk of cash. http://www.nashbar.com/profile.cfm?c...B%20Handlebars

More multi-position handlebar options:
