I have the Ahearne MAP bars on my Kogswell, combined with a long (120mm) stem. I find that it works beautifully with my shoulder/arm shape for a somewhat aggressive but very comfortable position on the grips, plus a nice second position on the forward curves that still allows access to the brake levers. I'm using comically-long 4-finger brake levers and it's super.
