A bar that will work (and natively takes bar-ends) is the Velo-Orange Montmarte. The key is the nearly parallel grips.
Hey, I get it. If you get the VO bars, you will probably spend every ride wondering if the Nitto bars would be less wobbly, even if the VO bars feel solid. Tinkerers know that a little bit of extra time and effort might make something perfect, even if it's mostly projection. Also, who can resist a good project?
