Title says it all. I can't find any.

Yes, there are interrupter levers. But, I need something for a grown man's hand. 
I'm thinking I may have to choose another bar.

I don't think you follow. All of the levers I'd like to use have 22.2mm clamps. The bar I wanted to use has a diameter of 23.8mm.

Not having looked at 7/8" clamp levers, is there a reason you couldn't swap out for a set of 15/16" clamps?

Unfortunately, I think the answer to my question might be "No".
Fugly. No go.

Pick the ones you like and ream them out with a 15/16 end mill. You'll need a machinist friend of course
