Avery,  

Something I did that you may want to consider is converting one of your bar 
end shifter sets to stem shifters.  That way, when you change handlebars 
you don't need to mess with the shifters at all.  For example, so far I 
have Noodles and a Surly Open Bar for my Hillborne.  Each setup has its own 
brake levers, cables and tape/grips; ready to go.  If I want to switch 
between cockpits it's a simple lift-n-lay.  All I have to do is reconnect 
the brakes.  There's no cable/cable housing waste and no re-taping,  This 
approach was particularly suitable to these two setups because they each 
required different brake levers (i.e. MTB vs. Road).  This may seem be a 
more expensive approach since each setup requires its own stem, but I've 
found that each handlebar change requires it's own unique stem size 
anyway.  I think it's better used this way than just letting it sit in a 
drawer.  FYI - If you don't have a stem shifter mount RBW sells a sharp 
looking unit.
