Swept back handlebars that take road levers
Anyone know of a swept back handlebar that takes road levers other than the nitto moustache?

It all depends on how you mount the levers. With most upright bars (including the Nitto Moustache bars, in this photo), if you mount the road levers so that they move vertically (i.e., you squeeze them up), there won't be enough travel room. But if you mount them horizontally from the bend in the bar (i.e., so that you squeeze the levers toward your body), or at a 45-degree angle below horizontal (see photo), they should work.

Nashbar often puts theirs on sale cheap.
Oh yeah, $12.99 qualifies as cheap.
