I have never played with my bars to see the total adjustment range because I've always made changes in small increments to get the fit just right for me.
I need them closer to each other but not closer to me. Closer to me (my body) causes a more upright seating position which I cannot do. Having them closer to each other relieves the stretch/reach required that is causing muscle tension between my shoulder-blades. The ideal configuration for me (in my mind----scary place; I know) would be closer together and about an inch or two forward of where the stock bars are now.
