Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Handlebars?

Supposedly, the dead priest bar has a recent reincarnation at Jitensha Studio ( https://www.jitensha.com/eng/flatbar05.html ). But I haven't used it before.

I want a priest bar too.

I really like the hoods on my road bike. Nobody makes a hood without a brake lever to install on bicycles that only have a front brake? Let's say I want hoods on my fixie. What are my options if I don't want useless brake levers hanging out on my drops?

They're called stoker hoods, usually used on tandems. I think they still look a little funky, and would probably go with a useless lever, or a problem solvers setup where both levers run the front brake.
