Default Bar Ends: Something to compensate for sweep?

Seems like bar ends and sweep are a bad combination - like the sweep will angle
the ends outwards so as to catch brush even easier.

Are there bar ends whose angle can be adjusted to nullify the effect of sweep?

And now you know why some of us have opted to dispose of the little evil

I've spent most of my money on mountain biking and windsurfing.
The rest I've just wasted.

Just use regular ones - but mount 'em vertically. ;-P
