I need to change the stock handlebars that come on the Velowave Ghost. Riding in that bent over position is very fatiguing on the hands.
Browsing handlebars on Amazon, and it seems that they do not have hardly enough flat area for the controls.

I need a minimum of 8" on the ends, even more if I want to mount mirrors, water bottle holder, etc.

Any suggestions?
 
Have you thought about an adjustable stem? It will raise the bar up and back towards you if you want. Probably less expensive than new handlebars. Amazon has them for around $17.00. Then you won't have to worry about moving all the items on your existing handlebars.
 
This is what I did with my Ghost. I added a adjustable riser stem and cruiser style bars. I had to do some cable rerouting. I'm using bar end mirrors, they work best for me. The only thing I mount to my bars is my cellphone holder. The down tube has the mountings for a standard water bottle holder that I have installed and that works for me.
