In any case, thanks for the link to the flickr photos @greenteadrinkers. That is definitely the right idea. Unfortunately, mine is the '92 XO-2 so I don't have the lugged frame and fork of the '93 pictured there. This (with swept back bars):
https://www.flickr.com/photos/urbanadventureleaguepdx/26906965191 is another bit of inspiration for what I'm going for, though I talked with the owner of this bike and he told me he did have a custom fork made--not sure I can make such a commitment, but it certainly looks nice...
