Normal bars are square and aero bars are rounder oval shape makimg them more aero dynamic

I know that but has anyone with SQUARE bars experimented?? Is it JUST the bars? I'm an ex Royal Navy aircraft mechanic so I know about aerodynamics. I just wondered if the hollow shape of the fittings caused whistle as well??
I've never bothered trying as I don't have my bars on permanently. :)

I started off high and worked my way down ever since :-)

At each end of the bar is a slot to enable adjustment cover the slot with something like tape and see if that helps
