Sweet ride, I'm diggin' the bars. They look beefy, and have lots of upsweep.
i like some upsweep (like 2 to 4 degrees)..... but those look like they have a TON of upsweep.

.... BTI catalog says 8 degree upsweep. that is unheard of in BMX.

maybe the idea is you tilt them back so much that part of the upsweep becomes diagonal backsweep. i dunno. it's weird. but if it works, then work it, i guess.

BTI part #: DM-2201
vendor part #: DMR-WBCM-K (30)
sweep: 7/8 deg
clamp dia.: 22.2/25.4mm
weight: 700g
rise: 3.0"
color: black
width: 27.5"

Yeah, I'd move them back to at least the same angle as the fork, maybe even back a hair further.
