Looks great! Where did you find RM-014's in normal clamp diameter?
I like that bar, but I can only find it in 31.8 mm clamp diameter <https://www.benscycle.com/p-1351-nitto-rm014-dirt-drop-handlebar.aspx>. And, that version of the bar has a large, weird-shaped section in the middle where it bells out to fit the wider clamp; that section is angled and unusable for clamping a light or anything else near the stem.
