This can be a hard thing to pin down. Rotation of the bar can be forward
or backward depending on your preference, so keep playing with it.

Does your new stem have a rise to it?
Same fork?

Same fork. Same stem. I have the Weyless 45mm and 80mm DH stems. I
decided to put the 80mm on my Haro and put the 45mm stem with bars that have
..5" more rise on the Bullit just to even out where the other 80mm and bars
were for riding position.

Well I will be hitting a couple DH's in a week so I will really know if
theis 45mm stem will work then! I have been riding the 80mm all season on
the Bullit. I have been going bigger and have a hard time getting the front
end up on some drops and steep chutes. One of my buds mentioned how long
the DH stem (80mm) was so I am trying the 45mm. I think the 60mm might be
the right one though. We'll see.

But regardless I tried the new bars with the old stem and it just never felt
right.
