I have wondered whether you could mount a long bar one hex off thereby adding 16+ degrees lift.

Yes, this can be done. My friend Paul in Las Vegas with the 56 Exec (see my website), did this. Didn't work too well, as I recall. He also tried flipping the main bars side to side. This worked better, but he was warned off by myself and others on the old site by "reverse stress" breaking one of the main bars inadvertently with bad consequences.

Does anyone have a stash of multi-ring front struts to provide to T-L owners? And if so, what length would one order?

IMO, the only solution is to do what I did, to wit: Make the front bars infinitely adjustable.
